Clear, firm, complex, and quite deep scent of ripe black berries with meaty, tobacco, and floral notes, a hint of tomato paste and paprika, a bit of black tea, suggested leather, and well-aged, grilled meat. Quite a firm, pure-toned, herbaceous, juicy, concentrated fruit, present, yet ripe and fine tannins, smoky and tobacco wood spices, a bit of tobacco ash, pepper, again with meaty hints, again red paprika and tomato paste, good depth, inner sweetness, still a bit underdeveloped, salt in the background, very good, firm, juicy, mineral, and complex spicy finish.
