Translate to English Greifter, etwas nussiger und tabakiger Duft nach reifen, teils angetrockneten roten Beeren und etwas Zwetschgen mit erdigen Nuancen und einer Spur Suppenfond. Reife, warme Frucht mit nussigen und gewürzigen Tönen, mürbes, dabei recht präsentes Tannin, ein wenig Kakao am Gaumen, im Hintergrund getrocknete Kräuter, erdige und leicht salzige Noten, nachhaltig, gewisse Tiefe, noch überraschend fest gewirkt, sehr guter, würziger udn recht saftiger Abgang. Hat sich viel besser entwickelt als von uns erwartet.

Editor note: Nose still youthful, but accessible, berries and plums, as well as some malt and some dissolute red fruit. Gingerbread on the palate, dark chocolate and plum purée, soft and accessible, very velvety tannins, alcohol quite well integrated, attractive finish. In spite of its hefty body should be drunk fairly young.
