NOSE: red licorice; medium-light stony mineral; hint of sweet balsamic; medium+ expressiveness.
BODY: dark garnet color of great depth; medium-full bodied.
TASTE: ripe, non-descript, red fruits; not quite gloppy/overblown, but it does seem a bit bigger than its 14.1% alc. would suggest; anthracite; medium-light stony mineral note from the Nose is reflected onto the palate. Gut impression score: 88 - 90.
