[SOLD-OUT] Wynns John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon 1999

Jeremy Oliver 95 points!
"Deep dark scents of plums, dark olives, mulberries and blackcurrants, with a dusty, earthy background of sweet leather, chocolate and cloves. Presently a little raw and angular, but destined to soften and integrate, its firm, drying and powdery palate reveals a plush core of intense dark fruit. More fruit sweetness than the comparatively subdued 1998 vintage."
Jeremy Oliver, OnWine.

"Wynns Coonawarra Estate John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon 1999. The oak's been done beautifully and is firm, thigh and tannic, with excellent fruit momentum and thrilling acidity. It presents as a chunky wine with finesse at the same time. A long-term keeper." Campbell Mattinson, Red Centre of Excellence, Decanter Magazine, London, EN - UK, 1 August 2004

"The Wynns John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon is a classically bred stayer with a pedigree extending back for yonks. Coonawarra's limestone country, covered with Terra Rossa, is where John Riddoch thrived. The 1999 Wynns John Riddoch was made in only small quantities and held back for release to obtain further bottle maturation. Tightly structured with opulent, ripe fruit flavours and charry French oak, it will gather even further intensity as the years go by. Winemaker Sue Hodder recommends a long spell." Ross Noble, Mount Barker Courier - Australia, 22 October 2003

"It is made only in years when grapes of extraordinarily high quality are available. Indeed, just one per cent of the top Cabernet grapes are used to make it..." Wynns.
