Editor note: Translate to English Alkoholstarker Duft nach eingemachten und angetrockneten roten und etwas schwarzen Beeren mit Kirscharomen, herben Kräuternoten und erdigen Anklängen. Sehr reife, teils kandiert wirkende Frucht mit sehr viel Alkohol und zart schokoladigen Anklängen, mürbes Tannin, viel Fett, gute Nachhaltigkeit, im Hintergrund Kräuter, etwas Karamell, gewisse Tiefe, guter bis sehr guter, nur wieder ziemlich alkoholstarker Abgang. Strengt etwas an.
