Translate to English Herbe, säuerliche Nase nach Kirschen und schwarzen Beeren mit Paprikanoten und anderen vegetabilen Anklängen sowie einer Spur Veilchen und oxidativen Nuancen. Herb-saftige Frucht mit etwas Paprika und nussigen Aromen, feinsandiges Tannin, gewisse Nachhaltigkeit, nicht ewig tief, präsentes Tannin, ganz leicht trocknend, gute Nachhaltigkeit, noch ziemlich jung wirkend, guter, recht griffiger Abgang mit einem Hauch Bitterschokolade.

Editor note: Dried berries on the nose, some dried herbs and a touch of cedar, earthy and light animal notes, some old oak. Sweetish, jammy and preserved berry fruit, some undergrowth and a touch of mushrooms, herbs and some light chocolate notes, elegant acidity provides backbone, as do the medium fine-grained tannins, has some substance, delicately juicy with some berry notes on a good finish.
