Nightfall Coonawarra The Lion Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Quite a classic Coonawarra expression here – poised and precise – as it delivers impressive layers of dried herbs, blackberry and blackcurrant fruits with slightly resinous oak in support. The palate is firm but generous as it delivers good volume and extract before tightening up thanks to a solid backbone of fine, filigree tannins which support a long, fleshy finish. Excellent balance here so it will drink well for at least a decade and probably more.
