Woah! Give this Squitchy Lane Cabernet Franc a decant and you're in business as it unfurls into a wine with poise and silky pleasure.
On opening, it showed typical herbal and leafy varietal characters, but a day on this is a different wine entirely. The savoury elements have meshed with the fruit, and it carries itself with an elegance and sheen.
Seeing French oak for 15 months (35% new), embrace blackcurrants, blackberries, Mint Pattie chocolate delish and dried Mediterranean herbs. Blackberry pastilles cling to a sustained finish with fine cocoa-like tannins offering plenty to consider. Give it some more bottle age or a good decant if drinking now, and you'll be in business. Big love.
