Aromas of black currants and cassis erupt, announcing a young, ripe and fancy Cabernet Sauvignon. Superbly flavored, with additional complexities of anisette and chocolate, freshly crushed white pepper, and the sweet, toasty notes of new oak. The tannins are thick, but they're so softly sweet that the wine is delicious even at this young age.
