TASTING NOTE: 100% Cabernet Franc. A pretty Cabernet Franc which is rather Bordeaux in style. The clean-as-a-whistle nose is a marriage of graphite, mint, flowers and dark fruits, while the palate is sleek, fluid, mouthwatering and complex, with powerful yet elegant tannins and a lovely core of fruit; will age very well. Score - Gold Medal (Decanter World Wine Awards, 2015) |
