Spicy nose with woody and earthy notes, herbs and dark berries, especially cassis. Clear and delicately juicy, lively and fresh, lots of cassis, morello cherries, slightly tart green leaves and stems and smoky notes, firm body with power and backbone, a hint of well-integrated extract sweetness, velvety tannins, long finish with notes of spicy dark berries, herbs and smoke.
