Wantirna Estate - Hannah Cabernet Franc Merlot - 2022

Aged for 11 months in just one new French barrique, and therefore there are only 288 bottles in existence! Lifted and perfumed, you will find aromas of kirsch, peony, pencil box shavings from the new oak and some freshly ground coffee beans. Suave and persistent on the palate with super fine, ever so gently chewy tannins. Elegance personified. If you're lucky enough to get your hands on a few bottles, your patience in opening them 5, 10 or 15 years from now will be well rewarded. 96 Points Philip Rich, THE HALLIDAY WINE COMPANION
