    Lots of berry, cherry and currant fruit in this dry Cabernet, which is drinking nice and mellow. It could be more concentrated, as it falls off in the finish, turning bitter.

    Cassis, menthol, black olive, and some alfalfa make for a complex bouquet. It's undoubtedly forward—red fruit, chocolate and vanilla on the palate—with a piercing quality that could subside with age. This wine has the stuff to please: it's round, mouthfilling and very correct.
