The nose is reminiscent of a cool winter night walk under clear skies and bright moonlight, some coal smoke with spice and pickled cherries. Powerful and dense, muscular appearance with broad shoulders and plenty of masculine strength, smoky and spicy cherry fruit with power, racy style, invigoratingly fresh with tension and pressure, again cool charcoal smoke on the palate with cherries, some mocha and a hint of delicate spice, velvety tannins, astringent and mouth-drying, great balance, complex and deep with an impressive tension that is reminiscent of a sprinter who can hardly wait for the starting gun, long finish with endless smoky cherry fruit in the aftertaste.
