Clear, polished nose of cherries and rather dark berries with fine herbal aromas, floral traces, hints of beef, vanilla and a touch of tobacco ash. Firmly woven, tangy dark fruit, slightly smoky, herbal and again a little tobacco ash aromas, very fine tannin and some bite, persistent on the palate, good substance, some depth, peppery-etheric nuances, also mineral hints, very good, almost cool finish with fresh juice and fine spice. Very skilful.
