Anthonij Rupert Cabernet Franc 2019

Rich Christmas pudding with spice and a hint of dried flowers on the nose. The palate offers instant appeal in its warm, smooth, richly fruited entry. Lovely interplay of flavour and texture – dark chocolate, blueberries, a touch of liquorice and dried herbs set against an earthy depth and integrated frame of polished oak. There’s a gentle squeeze of tannin that adds complexity. It is silky and effortless but also powerful and will repay sympathetic cellaring. Intricate, long and rewarding.
