93 points - The Real Review
First released in 1976, Leconfield Cabernet Sauvignon has developed an enviable reputation for its expression of Coonawarra terrior. The fruit is from mature vineyards grown in the rich terra rossa soil over limestone for which the region is celebrated.
Full flavored with ripe cassis fruit characters. The finished wine expresses elegant, complex layers of rich fruit, fine tannins, aromatic French oak and balanced acidity.

“The oak, classy and tighter grained here (18 months, all French; 43% new). The fruit, more restrained: currant, mulch, bitter chocolate and truffle. The structural bow, of greater tension. This is linear, precise and long. Very good. Again, the pH and tannin management, far better than in the past. This will reward mid-term cellaring. It is good to see that Coonawarra, or at least at this address, is finding swagger again.”
