Tart, a touch meaty aroma of predominantly black berries with smoky, dried floral, tart nutty and peppery aromas and a little pepper in the background. Firm, tart, ripe dark fruit, some roast, coffee, dark chocolate and pepper, some bite, quite a lot of ripe, fine sandy tannin, noticeable but integrated alcohol, slightly peppery spice, also salty tones in the background, still young, excellent substance and good depth, bacony nuances, very good, firm finish with dark juice, slightly bitter roast and ethereal notes again...,
