Franklin Tate Cabernet Merlot 2014, 75 cl

Vibrant crimson and plum red. A bright bouquet of intense blackcurrant and plum aromas. Hints of black olive, sage and spice add a slight savoury element among the plush fruit. Bright and juicy fruit flavours of ripe blackcurrant and dark plum with a hint of violet and black olive. The fruit is balanced by gripping chalky tannins and a good length of integrated oak notes of choc-mint with cinnamon and cedar spice.
