Polleters 2005 Cabernet Franc VicFeb08

Tasting Note

Sydney Time

Polleters 2005 Cabernet Franc VicFeb08 will sell for $25 when it is released in late March and is sealed under screwcap. The bouquet shows floral characters over black fruits and cedar. The palate shows a huge amount of intense, black flavour profile fruit. Blackberry, blackcurrant, and black coffee flavours together with mint are off-sweet. It's a medium-weight, tight, elegant and almost seamless. Very damn drinkable, it's worth buying for something different and is rated as Recommended with *** for value; it should be in its peak drinking window between 2011 and 2016 (**** for value based on the case price of $20 a bottle).
