Tasting Notes: Cherry jam explodes from the glass with top notes of geraniol, currants and green fig leaf. It actually smells like red wine, which is unusual given the lack of skin contact! The palate has bracing acidity which is a reminder of why cabernet sauvignon ages so well, and is shocking given the wine has gone through full ML.
