Clear and delicately juicy; solid body with strength and backbone, some sharpness; ripe blackberries, pickled cherries, with lots of herbal spices, a hint of leather and dark chocolate; racy and invigoratingly fresh; seems quite dry; slightly tart, some velvety tannins; good balance; good finish with lots of herbal spices and dark chocolate.
