Askerne Cabernet Franc 2022

Hawke's Bay, New Zealand

★ 5 - 93pts

Leafy and smoky, with blackcurrant and bramble bush aromas, before a pop of dark cherry on the palate. It has a savoury crunch of autumn leaves, earthy soil, and a hint of mushroom, all wrapped in fine-grained, pencil-lead tannins. Smooth and flowing, with bright acidity and a lovely depth that carries through to a rich, layered finish. A seriously delicious drop that shows off its varietal character and age in style.

Enjoy now – 2028.
