Its black fruits are also right there

Chappellet Signature Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 Italian Wine Closeout in Japan's extreme northIt is a marvellously compact and coiled up wine with a towering structure. Very beautifully fragrant dried purple flowers and herbs. Full bodied with loads of succulent ripe blackberry, creme de cassis, graphite, and loamy earth. Very firm, tight grained tannins form the base note of this wine, and the finish is long and rich in wild herbs and spices. Cellar worthy. It will release internationally in September 2024. It is rounded out with 6% Merlot.
