Leasingham Cabernet Sauvignon Classic Clare 1998

Clare Valley, South Australia, AustraliaVery warm nose with huge cassis jam, sappy/resiny, peppery notes mixed with vanilla and chocolate aromas. Ripe round and peppery with earthy, liquorice, cassis jam flavours and a rootsy, black cherry finish. A bit chewy and dry, it will need a few years more to fully round out and develop complexity.Tasted: 15 September 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
