Editor note: Translate to English Relativ herber, etwas getrocknet-pflanzlicher und altholziger Duft nach schwarzen Beeren und Kirschen mit einer Spur Himbeeren sowie tabakigen und erdigen Nuancen. Sehr kräftig im Mund, aber auch mit gewissem Schliff, recht kompottige, dunkle Frucht mit Kandisnoten und süßlichem Saft, nachhaltig am Gaumen, zarte Lakritz- und Malztöne, wärmender Alkohol, daneben auch kühlende Elemente, nicht ewig tief, relativ feines Tannin, sehr guter, erneut etwas kompottiger und alkoholstarker Abgang.
