Some smoky/charry aromas; very powerful blackcurrant fruit on a long palate; ridiculously low price but will in all probability be discounted even further. Cork. 13% alc. Rating 92 points Drink 2019 Date Tasted Dec 06 James Halliday Wine Companion

A tribute to the brand's history, named after one of Leasingham's four founders, solicitor Magnus Badger. But the wine is also attributable to the distinctive characteristics of the Clare Valley, using fruit sourced from the region we have always proudly called home.

Leasingham has historically been recognised for its production of high quality red wine and Leasingham Magnus Cabernet represents true regionality and value in the red wine market. 100% varietal Cabernet Sauvignon and a partner to the Magnus Shiraz, the 2004 is the first release of this wine. It displays all the hallmarks of the Clare Valley and Leasingham style: sweet fruit concentration and boldness of structure.

Ruby red with brilliant clarity, this wine displays lifted blackcurrant and violet perfume with underlying coffee aromas. The palate is tightly packed with ripe fruits and dark chocolate and shows fleshy fruit and boldly structured tannins with wonderful flavour concentration and a smooth finish. Alcohol 13.3%
