Needs a bit of air to open up but when it does this smells like the colour purple, purple silk. Yep, that's what I said. There's also fresh out the oven blueberry muffin with a dusting of icing sugar. I'm pretty sure there's some toasted hot-cross bun action going on in there somewhere. Perfumed, purple fruit, very attractive. Bit more straightforward taste wise with tight knit tannins and a sold, fresh blackcurrant & plum finish

Velvet blueberry on the nose. Light tannin, sweet and juicy palette. Delightful.

Perfumed violet, crushed blueberry and hints of cherry Coke. Whole bunch fermentation Franc, acid slightly out of kilter on the finish but very drinkable.

Savoury spice, awesome nose with pepper and violets. Light body for a cab franc. Could drink a lot! 100% whole bunch, carbonic maceration.

Jamsheed Harem is one of them minimal intervention wines. You probably need a beard to really appreciate it. This Cabernet Franc is light bodied but full of funky assertive flavour. Imagine a nineteenth century farmhouse in Provence. This is what they would have been drinking before a post lunch game of Kick the Peasant.
