Intense dark purple core and hue. Ripe and fresh nose offering fresh red currants, cassis, aromatic herbs like sage and bay leaf with a hint of oak and tobacco. The palate is dense and concentrated with savoury fruit, an herbal and peppery spiciness, fine oak, rather high but ripe tannin followed by a persistent finish. Youthful but promising. Tasted Blind

2017 Asticus Mons Cabernet Franc is simply a masterpiece for Chamlija. The darkest color you can find in a Cabernet Franc. It has an amazing deep bouquet of black cherry, aromatic herbs, crème de cassis, sweet spices and raspberry aromas that captivates nose. Silky and elegant at first attack. it possesses superb aromatic freshness and textural finesse in the middle. Incredibly long mineral finish. This is a superb ''fine'' wine. A benchmark in Turkish winemaking.

Coffee and cacao notes outfront followed by a mix of red and black berry aromas and herbal undertones. Elegant with rounded tannins and a fruity, vibrant finish.
