Previous reviewers were prescient. This wine is indeed still drinking well, and shows no signs of decline. Acid and tannin structures still strong. Flavour profile as described in those earlier TNs. This is a note made on Night two. I'd be surprised if it didn't have at least four years left at peak drinking and will probably improve further. I'd say its better point is its moorishness over complexity, but price-quality ratio is impressive. A no rough edges, delicious drink. Night 3 - still drinking well - reinforcing theexpectations of continuing longevity.

Screaming blueberries with heavy cigar box and some earth and mint - still lovely texture, with fruit still the primary focus followed up by the oak and nice splash of acid - soft yet present tannins that make themselves know on the finish - good+ and still has years on it
This is lovely. There was blackberry, plums and a bit of earthy cigar box flavours, and the tannin profile suggested that this wine will be good for many years yet.

Very Good, Cedar & Mint on the nose - tobacco, brambles and good fruit with well balanced acidity and great length - drinking very well and a great future ahead

Great wine! Very good nose with ripe fruit, good quanitities of oak add to the pallet without overpowering. Drinking well now but think extra time in bottle with make this even better. Looking forward to next bottle in 12 months

Over two years since my last bottle and this is singing. Utterly delicious and no signs of flagging.
Just on my first glass and will aim to add notes more later.

Quality aged Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon. Popped (unscrewed) and poured. Hit the spot and in no danger of falling over any time soon.

Very good wine. Drank it alongside a good 2005 St Estephe and at this moment in time, I enjoyed the Leconfield more. Will buy more.
