Editor note: Mixed berries and cherries on the nose, vegetal notes, light malted and earthy notes, some old oak. Earthy again on the palate, some oak, spicy fruit, vegetal and smoky notes, elegant acidity, slightly sandy tannins, full-bodied and fairly creamy, noticeable mineral notes in the background, excellent persistence and depth, develops much more life and juiciness with aeration, full-bodied but also elegant, still slightly oaky with tart vegetal notes on an otherwise very good finish.
