Cool, firm scent of predominantly red berries, but also cherries with dried, herbaceous and slightly greasy notes, a hint of pepper and earthy and mushroom notes. Firm, clear and again rather cool, juicy, very firm red fruit, somewhat nutty and very slightly roasted oak, tobacco notes, herbs and pepper, earthy mineral notes on the palate, good substance and sustainability, a hint of dark chocolate, in the background also salt, has strength, still undeveloped, very good, firm, tart-juicy and spicy finish.
