Black currant jam, vanilla, slight menthol touches too. Ok. The palate is well balanced with a rather sweet mouthfeel. There is a strong acid backbone, a nice black currant, jamy note all along, a very soft, gentle mouthfeel. Mid palate is building on a sweet note, tannins are discreet and the finish is rather nice with that black currant note, and a little tanginess too which gives balance after that sweeter note in mid palate. It's not great, in a sweeter style than those I'm used to, but it's an interesting take on cabernet Sauvignon.
