The Damascene Stellenbosch Cabernet Franc exudes a vibrant bouquet of fresh fennel, blackberry, black cherry, dried violets, graphite and hints of sweet tobacco. An immensely fragrant wine that conjures up images of tomato bushes in the sun and campfires under starry skies. The dynamic and powerful palate coats a core of iodine overlaid with nuances of red and black currants, sour cherries and cranberries. The fresh fruit nuances are accompanied by a lively acidity and a remarkably pure, fleshy and grippy tannic structure that is not drowned out by the oak. The precise and lingering finish ends pleasantly dry and balanced.
