Medium(+) alcohol level and medium(+) body. Medium intensity flavor of smoke, black cherry, cloves, rubber, black pepper, plum and coffee. Medium(+) length, with robust tannin and lively acidity, showing balance, with a warming alcohol, a soft fruit, grippy grain and fleshy tannin, with baked ripeness but still expressive freshness. Conclusion: Good quality level because it is quite well balanced with complexity in flavor and aroma. The length is relatively long and approachable. Ready to drink but can develop further, which will benefit from a further ageing of 1-2 years.
