Askerne 'Dr John' Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc Merlot 2020, Hawke's Bay

Youthful, complex, varietal, fruity and distinctive with aromas of blackberry and olive, dark roasted plum and tobacco, toasty barrel with dark baking spice layers, violet and a dry clay mineral quality. Firm youthful textures touch the palate first with an abundance of tannins and acidity forming a strong foundation. Fruit flavours and sweet toasty barrel offer contrast and core style. Dark berries and plum, some chocolate notes and violets, tobacco and mineral qualities build with each new taste. Well made, youthful and offering great drinking from 2024 through 2030+.
