Firm, deep, somewhat dried floral, herbaceous and bacony nose, ripe red and a few black berries, cherry notes, some leather, beetroot, aubergines and noble tobacco aromas. Ripe, polished, juicy, noble fruit, some smoky and roasted spice, dried floral notes, allspice, a little cubeb pepper and a hint of cocoa, present, crumbly-sandy tannin, persistent, dense and deep on the palate, beguiling ethereal spice, a hint of vanilla, also tomato essence, porcini mushrooms and herbs in the background, lots of power, but also subtleties, complex and long, again with very noble juice and spice at the end. - wine.plus
