If it were only for the nose, this would be excellent, what with its wonderful interplay of fruity cherry and berries (notably raspberry and strawberry), and savoury mushrooms, herbs, earth, and crushed rock, all coated in oodles of black pepper, but alas. The experience isn't terrible past the aromas, but the flavours, with the savoury taking over, thin out quickly and are somewhat severe on the palate, while the finish is bitter and the length is unimpressive. It has that great nose, though, and it certainly deserves additional praise for representing its region in an uncommercial style.
