"It’s a shapely, structured wine of fine tannin, lithe but flavoursome fruit character, exceptional length and a general ambience of sophistication. It’s perhaps not as taut as some releases have been of late, but there is a svelte feel and the wine offers depth and satisfying concentration. Tannins start tight and spread in a fan, there’s lively acidity playing underneath keeping things fresh. Each sip reveals a bit more, until critical mass, and then you get the gist that this wine has a little extra heft, spice of mocha oak and perky, tight-skinned, dark berry fruit flavours come to the fore. It’s wonderful drinking, perhaps earlier drinking too. Tasted: Jun 18. 93+ Points" - Mike Bennie, The Wine Front
Medium deep crimson. Beautiful blackcurrant, black plum aromas with violet, dark cherry aromas and underlying toasty oak nuances. Superb cassis, black plum flavours, inky textures fine long graphite tannins, vanilla oak complexity and vinosity. Finishes chalky firm and minerally with lovely fruit sweetness. This is a brilliant black label with all the hallmarks of a great vintage and reflecting the Coonawarra terroir at its best. 98 Points" - Andrew Caillard MW
"Deep, ripe cabernet aromas, blackberry and cedar, with a subtle but noticeable kiss of oak, and no green elements. The wine is very elegant and balanced, intense and soft textured, ripe and harmonious. The body is only medium to full, the tannins velvet smooth. A superb example of the Wynns style. (The 61st vintage of the 'black label').95 Points" - Huon Hooke, The Real Review
Sustainably-made
