2019 Brecon Reserve Cabernet Franc (Library, Club Only!)

Try sitting down with a grandparent sometime and listen to tales of old. When men were bold (stereotype, sorry). They have their stories down, sliding effortlessly in and out of various plot twists and turns. You pick up a different nuance each time you hear it, much like the integration produced by these old vines. It might have taken fifty plus years to get there but would easily top a Shorty Award (Storytelling Championships). Sitting regally on its own Calcareous hilltop, they’re reaching that point in life when the smooth old rascals are considered to have a lovely lightness of touch, be subtly fragrant and rather flirtatious; softer than the more masculine Cabernet Sauvignon. Strangely, it still pairs remarkably well with a tender juicy steak in a restaurant's most romantic alcove.
