Tasted Feb' '22. An instantaneous hit of red berry and violet aromas greet you upon unscrewing the cap. The colour is holding very well - garnet with a faint vestige of purple. Wynn's reds, even the lower end ones, always benefit from a few years in the cellar. When you step up to this level the benefits of cellaring are even more obvious. The body is medium but the spicy black fruited flavours are intense and long and very well balanced. The wine has style. Rounded and satin textured, this is clearly from a very good year. There's no hurry to consume this vintage. Even more improvement is to be had.

Henry's Seven is the area, not the varieties of the vineyard planted by Henry Evans in 1853 at Keyneton. The wine has four varieties (shiraz, grenache, mataro and viognier), the colour no doubt assisted by the viognier, the bouquet likewise. It is fresh and spirited, yet also supple and balanced with a full array of dark berry, purple and black fruits, the tannins perfectly integrated.
