Pleasantly warm fruit notes on the nose of blackberries, licorice, black pepper, cloves, some orange zest, chocolate apricots, figs and black tea. Wonderfully juicy and meaty on the palate, dense with a lot of ripe fruit, a strong body and velvety tannins, pleasant spicy “steppe” flavor in the aftertaste, black olives, orange confit, black tea, fine nougat and berry fruit.
