Winemaker Sue Hodder has taken the famed Wynns Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon to even greater classical heights than it already enjoyed. Dark blackcurrant, cedar, roasted chestnut, unfurling tannins and praline, delivered with scintillating natural length and poise. Will live on for many years.

Cassis, vanilla cocoa and mint with an undercurrent of rich rolling tobacco. It’s medium to full bodied with a beautifully thick tannic texture that rolls through the mouth gently and surely with no assault from oak, alcohol or acidity – just the firm confidence of quality ripe fruit and positive oak. Finishes with a slick of creamy tannin and a pinch of dried herb. It’s a fulsome ripe year Coonawarra, much like 2005 or 1998, perky, fighting fit and ready for action now, yet age shall not weary it. A Monty for the cellar.
