The aromatics are dominated by black fleshy stone fruit. Mineral notes, crushed bricks, smoked paprika, raw steak, blond tobacco and cocoa powder aromas are also present. Very attractive and pleasant note, and very nicely layered.

Blue and black fruits, especially blackberry, define the palate, mixed with graphite, white pepper, and light black olive flavors. The finish is really long, expressing notes of tar, herbs, and a little black licorice.
