Winebytes wine of the month
Leasingham Bastion 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon Deep ruby red in colour with brilliant clarity. The nose shows spicy black cherries, lifted plum and earthy tobacco leaf. Black berry fruit concentration with sweet plums on the palate has a hint of coffee mocha and cassis. Finely textured tannins provide structure and balance to enhance the lengthy persistence of the fullness and fleshiness of fruit.
