2015 Collection Secréte, Georgia

Earthy, dried-vegetable to tobacco, slightly toasty and a hint of animal scent of ripe, partly preserved black berries with peppery nuances, a little bacon and soot. Dark fruit with bitterly sooty wood, fine sandy, somewhat drying tannin and light acid bite, bacony, a little peppery and dried-vegetable notes, in addition nutshells and bitter cocoa, certain persistence and power, also has some freshness, with air the fruit also asserts itself much better against the wood, has polish, good to very good finish
