2019 Wynns Coonawarra Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Black Label

5/8/2024 - Psdycp wrote: 89 points

Quite a shy nose right from the bottle. This needs a good decanting of at least 2 hours to release the aromatics. More vegetal notes and less fruit forward than previous vintage. Very high level of acidity but it is balanced by the juicy fruits and smooth tannins. Medium-bodied with an opaque structure not letting
much of the fine elements through. Some funky tar and toasty oak evaporate after sometime in the glass, it then finished cleanly. Good to hold on to this for a few more years before drinking it. 89-90 pts

Fragrant and deep aroma of ripe black plums, black peppers, intense clove and hints of toasted oak on the nose. Palate is less forward and more elegant than what the nose suggested. Felt more like a cool climate Shiraz from Victoria on the palate. Medium-bodied with some tannins to support proper aging. Good level of acidity running through from entry to an extended mid-palate and velvety spicy finish. This lacked some density and depth compared to the winery Joanna Shiraz on the palate. Almost at its finest peak now and will continue to drink nicely for the next 3-5 years.

Opened 8 bottles of 2001 wine ... 4 were ok, drinkable even - but this wynns was the best of the bunch. Still has dark fruit and even a hint of chocolate - pretty impressive for a "cheap" bottle (at the time). Smooth and really enjoyable, with enough fruit and tannins.

Real stunner, great nose, still youthful with blackberry, spice, cassis, tobacco, cedar notes, long finish, a rare treat, 61% Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Kalimna (Barossa) Shiraz. Spent 22 months in new American oak hogsheads (from Derek Darth's note)

Blackberry, blackcurrants, vanilla. Decent length. Too much oak IMO. Maybe wait for oak to integrate further, but not sure if time will help?? 92

Pop n pour, drank over 2 hours. Much better than I recall my experience 2 years ago. Huge huge wine no doubt, but less in my face this time around and not so alcohol out of balance, not sure why. Hey ho, one more left, fingers crossed hey. Drink sooner rather than later before any remaining fruit drops, as with all big % wines I guess.

Bit disappointed with this bottle.
Cork came out intact. Decanted for 2 hours.
Color is still deep garnet.
Nose is muted with some menthol notes.
Full body, tannins still present and bit harsh, some menthol and cedary flavours with little cassis. Good length but with harsh tannins and medicinal flavours.
May be a bad bottle.
Not rated.

5/4/2024 - gsroppsa Likes this wine: 90 points

Deep ink cherry in colour, this is a medium to full bodied shiraz with relatively good balance. An oakey and fruity nose which settled after short decant. On the palate it's very fruit forward with notes of plum and blackberry, not overly complex. An enjoyable lingering finish with dusty and grainy tannins which smoothed out over time.

First Wednesday Wine Club (Bella Puglia, Five Dock): Served blind
Leather, earth, sous bois, forest floor, slight herbaceous notes, blackcurrant and biscuit. Juicy, dark hued fruits, woody tannins, leather, forest floor, very slight mushroom, finishes with a little mint.
The nose said Bordeaux but the palate said Australia initially I thought Margaret River but ended up in Coonawarra and 1998 as the vintage.

Can hold it's head up as a 12yr old. A little understated; dry red fruits, herbal nose, some astringency. Fruit is fading but perhaps slowly. Drink now.

First Wednesday Wine Club (Bella Puglia, Five Dock): Served blind.
Cherry fruit, sweet spice, coconut, vanilla, red berries; quite sweetly fruited. Juicy with medium plus intensity acidity, textured burr, again sweet red hued fruit with very slight bitterness on the finish.
I knew this was Australian, South Australian in fact. Pinot or Grenache but no-one makes pinot like this so it has to be a young grenache with adjusted acidity?

Pale Purple shroud. Wonderful cran/raspberry nose. Soft, medium weight with initial astringency that quickly mellowed, remaining on the dry side. Plum, berries and some spice topping.
Agree with WINENERD76 review of the 2020 vintage.

2020 vintage. Appearance is a little syrupy - dark with a lot of extract on the sides of the glass.

Fruity nose and a bit of oaky something there as well.

Palate is plush fresh fruit. Alcohol seems high and lacks the acidity required to hold everything in check. Tannins dry the mouth quite abruptly and there’s not much of a finish. I think this needs food to tame it a bit. Have another bottle that I will try with roast lamb.

May mellow with age I guess but currently not a fan.

{cork, 13.6%} Level right at the base of the neck. Cork about a third soaked. Decanted off plenty of sediment and then served. Classic old Coonawarra, with a lash of mint, but also leathery currants and vanilla oak, nicely judged (last JR made by John Wade I think?). Medium/full weight, softly resolved dusty tannins, medium acidity. Medium/long finish, very good indeed. Really impressive.

In the decanter, starting drinking immediately and finished over 3 hours. Little bits of sweet redcurrant, however heavily masked by lead, tobacco leaf and cigar box. Quite one dimensional and a tad boring unfortunately. Drink over the next 18 months, it is unlikely to develop.
