Black Barn 'Havelock Hills' Merlot Cabernet Franc 2024, Hawkes Bay

An excellent bouquet, fruity, smoky, mineral and with some positive reduction presents and enticing opportunity to taste. Purple flowers and nut, blackberry and dark plums, there’s a fine savoury spice quality and judicious measure of oak. Youthful, taut, salivating fresh and dry. Tannins show off some grip and acidity delivers freshness, a saline note and carries the fruit flavours throughout the palate. Well made, opens up nicely. Best from 2027 through 2033+.
