Community Tasting Note

wongstonn Likes this wine:

Friday, April 12, 2024 - 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.
