  Tasted after a 1.5hr decant. Dark ruby in colour with lovely aromas of slightly herbal leather & chocolate. On the palate, full bodied tart & juicy black fruit, cassis, blackberry, slightly earthy, chocolate, herbal & floral, well integrated oak, medium to high acidity, high soft tannins with a long finish to tart black berries, leather & black pepper. Tasting a little young & aggressive at this time, but will be interesting to see the aging progression.

  On the PnP, without food and on sight and smell only:
  Wynns is medium ruby colour and looks broody compared to the lighter coloured challenger wine. I’m instinctively like broody and moody. Initially the aroma of blackcurrant boiled sweets with cigar revealing itself shortly afterwards. So there’s the archetypal tobacco and blackcurrant thing going on. Some sandalwood too.
  
  20 minutes in, sniff and first taste:
  The tobacco elements in the Wynns seem more linear and thus more focussed. Mrs Wongstonn is calling out flavours I am soooo not getting like barnyard and fish. But I do agree with her that it has improved aromatically after 20 minutes. Vanilla still there and there’s a sweetness coming through.
  
  Adding food the equation: homemade Wagyu beefburgers.
  The Wynns came into its own. It felt like a harmonic note was sweetly resonating above the food. Good value cab sav.

  A great Black Label, drinking well young. Give it a bit of air.

  Screw cap. The medium-high intensity nose is fragrant and open with attractive aromas of leafy grilled herbs, red & black fruits, currant, cherry, cassis, and fine wood spice with touches of mint and savoury earth. It's full-bodied, ripe, and dry with lovely red and black fruited cherry, currant, cassis, mint, and leafy herb flavours on the palate. It's well-structured with fresh, juicy acidity and ripe, structured, and fine-grained tannins that are youthful and a touch grippy. More savoury with earth and wood spice notes on the mid-palate, which linger through to the long, gently smoky finish.

  The best black label I've had. Perfect now with fruit still there but gaining secondary notes as well. 92-93. Son loved it as well.
