Fully fruity aroma of black cherry, a hint of white pepper, herbs, thyme, powerful palate, crumbly-grainy tannin in rather carefully dosed quantities, mild acidity, alcohol at the upper limit of the harmonic window, slightly drying at the end.
More about the tastingQuite clear on the nose, mint, sour cherry, also some pine nuts and fir shoots. Initially crumbly tannins, but still showing resistance, very mild acidity, expansive body, supple base, medium-bodied in length and intensity, still needs some bottle ageing.
