2013 Brecon Cabernet Franc
"All from estate vineyards, the 2013 Cabernet Franc (there's 5% Petit Verdot in there) spent 17 months in 45% new French oak and wasn't racked until bottling. It has lots of ripe cassis, licorice, smoke tobacco and a touch of toasted spice to go with a medium to full-bodied, nicely balanced feel on the palate. There's good typicity and it has enough ripe tannin to keep it drinking nicely through 2023."
91 Pts. Robert Parker. August 2015
