Nose: Powerful and ripe with notes of black cherry, blackberry, smokiness, some eucalyptus and dark chocolate, balsamic and a hint of ash, becoming more and more intense and gaining insane complexity
Palate: Almost a bit soft on the palate at the beginning, a lot of crumbly and fine-leaved tannin, again some dark chocolate, plum peel, roasted notes, deep and black, a little air then it gets even more gripping, a crumbly monster, velvety claws at the palate
