Firm and deeper, transparent, slightly meaty, nutty and tarry scent of ripe black berries with blueberries and cherries, floral nuances, a hint of bacon, cocoa, and beetroot. Clear, herbaceous juicy fruit with a bit of bitter chocolate wood, delicate smoky notes, and a little allspice, very fine, ripe, yet still youthful tannins, persistent on the palate, good depth, has melt and considerable power, but remains rather cool, firm, and complex, very good, firm, bitter, wood-spicy finish.
