Askerne Cabernet Franc 2018, Hawkes Bay

Untitled-1.png

Vibrant, quite intense, varietal and youthful bouquet of Franc with aromas of dark berries and olive, dried herb and dry stone mineral moments. Bright, fresh and youthful complexity. On the palate - weighty, fresh and boldly fruity structure with flavours of blackberry and black cherry and plums. Medium+ acidity with firm fine and chalky textured abundant tannins, then a smoky toasty wood layer with clove and some vanilla flavours. Balanced and well made, youthful and age worthy. Decant for service with best drinking from 2022 through 2025.
