| Likeness | The aroma sits in a Cabernet register. The palate is softer and slightly sweet, and the tannin is too gentle to supply the usual frame. | The dark fruit is Cabernet enough. Plum, black cherry, and black currant show. The structure is light and soft — little tannin, little depth — so it does not hold like conventional Cabernet. | Research record |
