very smoky notes of oak become apparent first. this needs some air to open more, when the initial smoke is followed by dark sumptuous floral-tinged berries. the peony-scented blueberry and bramble note is highlighted on the palate by fine freshness. the tannins are ultrafine and gentle, while the wine is full bodied but still taut. this is for the longer run. drink 2020–2030.
