Captivating scent of cassis, leather, currant jelly with a gentle recalling of toast; full-bodied on the tongue, supple, not without temperament and gently backed by charcoal notes; again a lot of backbone in the finish, with well-integrated tannins and notes of black pepper. A wine that reminded me of a steam locomotive with 6 to 8 years of further development potential and nice to strong meat dishes such as goulash, rabbit pepper or a intense roasted rump steak.
