This bottle was really hitting its straps and is probably the best example of Leconfield Cabernet that I've had. It is closer to full bodied than medium and while the primary fruits have faded there was still some dark berry flavour along with hints of capsicum and mint. Good length as well.

A farly classic Coonawarra profile I'd say - some cedar and blackberries with a hint of eucalyptus. The tannins weren't particularly long but there was still some acidity which gives the wine a bit of freshness. Works better with food than on its own.

Not the best Cabernet I've ever had but far, far from the worst. Personality to spare + lots of fun, but this is definitely hitting its best before date - drink 'em if you've got 'em.

This is better than the 85 ponts it gets here. However not a 90 point wine. Is starting to turn so I would drink this now if you have any. We decanted and strained a small amount of sediment. Overall good, nice body and smooth taste.

Not as good as I remembered. Still reeks of burnt tires but the intensity is gone.
