Translate to English Recht herber, ein wenig getrocknet-pflanzlicher Duft von schwarzen und etwas roten Beeren mit moderaten Holznoten sowie nussigen und erdigen Tönen. Auch im Mund relativ herbe, überwiegend dunkle Frucht mit Noten von angetrocknetem Paprika, erdigen Tönen und einer Spur Tabak, recht feines, dabei noch immer präsentes und ein wenig trocknendes Tannin, etwas Säurebiss, sehr guter, herb-saftiger und leicht holzwürziger, wieder auch ein wenig trocknender Abgang.
