CreamyWhat does Black Cherry Merlot smell like?
The notes have no top, heart or base split, so the scent reads as one whole from start to finish. Sour cherry and raspberry give it a juicy, sweet face, while red wine adds a ripe depth behind them. The accords set fresh and gourmand side by side; spicy and creamy touches soften it, and a synthetic edge runs through the fruit.
