Clear, firm, youthful scent of ripe black berries and red pepper with fine tobacco and herbal notes, meaty traces, hinted tobacco ash, and floral nuances. Ripe, clear, and juicy fruit, partly reminiscent of preserved fruit, restrained roasted and coffee-spiced aromas, a bit of good chocolate, crumbly tannin, persistent and warm on the palate, delicate dark ethereal notes, meaty and herbal nuances, a touch of salt, has something flattering, very good finish.
