I have not been disappointed with a Leconfield Cab Sauv so far ('93 & '94). All have been exceptional. Ruby red with brown around the edge. Nose is sensational. Palate filled with rich berries, plums, cassis, leather, forest floor, eucalypt. Smooth and velvety mouthfeel. Perfect balance and acidity, resolved rounded tannins, finish is endless.

NobleRottersSydney - Oz wines - 10 year night (Alio's, Surry Hills): {cork, 13.5%} Tasted this for the second time in a year, and I reckon I’d have picked it blind. Surely among the most polarizing noses of all time. Intense lashings of asparagus, capsicum, and green leaves. The palate is less intimidating, being quite loose-knit and open; surprisingly it doesn’t taste unripe. Soft grapey tannins remain around the back of the palate and draw some attention to a reticent mid-palate. Medium bodied, this wine will probably taste the same in five more years.
