This is quite aromatically similar to the Fourchaume though here there is also a discreet hint of sulfur and the wood is all but invisible

Aromas of violets and plum and rich flavors of dark currants

The bottle I sampled exhibited notes of mint

ZD Cabernet Sauvignon Abacus XXIII - NV (750ml) Size:750ml This is quite aromatically similarTight and focused, with complex earthy currant, black cherry, anise, herb and leathery notes, firming on the finish, picking up a chocolate note. A curious and expensive foray into non vintage "solera style" Cabernet, it's a multiple vintage blend of every ZD Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon ever produced. Wine Spectator
