Massive wine. Alcohol forefront with prominent Cabernet fruit and tannin. Definitely decant for 4-6 hours prior. Plenty of life left. Will try again in 3-5 years.

What a good wine grey label is. In our youth it was a rare special occasion wine. Now that we can afford great wines we forgot to include grey label in our cellar. What a mistake. Really enjoyable and I am glad I have 3 more in the cellar.
8/2020, very drinkable but good for another2-3 years, Blackberry, plums, plenty of fruit which is a wolf blass style, tannins and acids have mellowed out.

The 15% alcohol tends to sneak up on you after an hour or so (a little bit of alcohol heat?). Hints of blackberries, cherries, a whiff of licorice and some chocolate. Garnet/deep crimson in colour through to the edges. a dash of pepper entwined with layers of fruit, tannins and acid. Excellent length, great mouth feel and delicious with bbq eye fillet steak. 91+
