Firm, somewhat developed, quite dense aroma of ripe predominantly black berries with slightly smoky, bacony wood notes, nutty tones, a touch of leather and peppery traces. Ripe, tightly knit, tangy fruit, again some smoky-roasty wood flavours, a little coffee grounds and bitter chocolate, persistent, ripe tannin and fine bite, has power and good depth, quite distinct salt, surprising freshness, quite complex, hints of ethereal spice, very good, juicy, grippy finish. In excellent condition.
