2002 Leconfield Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon

A wine that seems to keep missing the beat in recent years. Very deep crimson, brick red colour with brick red hue. Aroma of tea leaf, leather and spice followed by stewed fruit. There is a hint of mint that manifests itself on the palate. Dry, persistent tannins. Aftertaste of tea leaf, stewed fruit and earth.

On the palate there is a touch of tea leaf, followed by cedar and white pepper on the back palate. Fine dry tannins. Aftertaste of cedar, tea leaf and blackcurrant.
