Black Estate Home Cabernet Franc 2022, North Canterbury

An enticing, savoury and complex bouquet with a core of dried herbs and black olive, dark black berry flesh and cigar smoke all in equal parts as the scents invade the senses. Dry in a medium-bodied frame with firm tannins and plenty of acidity. Flavours of dark berries and savoury dried herb and cigar qualities return with some added power of youth and taut appeal. As the wine opens out in glass the the textures and fruit all settle into a rhythm, yet all showing a lot more time in cellar is needed to realise the absolute harmony ahead. Complexity is easy to find. Best drinking from 2028 through 2038.
