If you want to know what wine critics mean when they talk about cassis aromas and flavors in wine, look no further than this bottle. Calling it a cassis bomb would not be inappropriate, and it’s a good thing in this case. Explosive aromas and flavors of – you guessed it, cassis – flood the nose and the mouth, where supple tannins stretch it out. Delicious!
