Deep, youthful red/purple colour. The bouquet is rich and deep, with tremendous intensity and brightness, structure and persistence. A thoroughly impressive young wine. Violets. The tannins are ample and firm and in perfect balance with the wine. This will be very long-lived indeed. Great stuff.

Another wine from Wynns and the '12 vintage that shows a significant change in winemaking direction, with the alcohol of 13.5%. While the Woodley Treasure Chest wines were basically shiraz, none wholly cabernet sauvignon, this wine has a structure those wines had in their early maturity. What is most interesting here is the early development on the palate of savoury flavours and firm tannins, yet allowing the fruit to maintain its line through to the all-important finish, where balance is not in question.
