  • 1990 Wynns Coonawarra Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

    Australia, South Australia, Limestone Coast, Coonawarra

    Blackcurrant, coffee, caramel, mocha, vanilla, leather, surprisingly polished oak, rich. Juicy acidity tends to the very slightly sour, slight alcohol warmth, blackcurrant fruit, chalky tannins though the oak is less obvious on the palate but sweet spice and cedar in support. Nice
