Vintage 2017
94 points The Real Review
Deep red colour with a good tint of purple and a sweetly ripe blackberry aroma, the palate likewise driven by its true-blue cabernet fruit, but it has a solid backbone of tannin, and oak that is happily subtle and complementary. A mass of sweet ripe berry flavour sits in the mid-palate and is surrounded by firm, distinctive cabernet tannins. A very smart cabernet indeed.

This is one of the best Leston cabernets yet, which is no surprise given the quality of this great vintage. Powerful and laden with a dense concentration of blackcurrant, dark chocolate and ripe plum. There’s a nice lift of cedary oak. It’s a plush and opulent wine with a deliciously thick satisfying palate.
