  • Drank this during a wine dinner at Phoenix Garden (Ngee Ann City). Theme of the Evening: Langton's Exceptional Cabernet Dinner. Wines were served two at a time for comparison and contrast.

    One of the flagship wines from the Wynns Coonawarra Estate. Only made in good years, this wine presented a lovely eucalyptus, blackcurrant, tobacco, mint and cedar. When compared to the 2006 Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine presents more complexity and dimensions.

  • Drinking beautifully right now. Totally integrated and balanced. Has another 5 to 10 years ahead

  • Still a 94. Two years since the last bottle this is still developing. Now into a secondary stage but still with a youthful swing in her hips. Delicious from the moment the first sip crosses your lips Blackberries, cedar and a touch of spice on the bouquet following through to the palate with a light dash of eucalypt. Luscious body with lingering length. In an optimum point in the drinking window but will easily cellar (with care) for another 5 plus years

  • Quite incredible, still solid in colour, mint, cedar, some aniseed and berry nose - massive cassis fuit followed by wonderful gritty tannins giving an incredibly long finish - still full of power and structure and wish I had waited another 10 years

  • Deep colour, barely showing any age. Powerful fruit - blackberry, blueberry, light mint/eucalypt and a hint of chopped tobacco. A fine line of acid. Good mouth feel with a lingering finish. The tannins are smooth. This had a three hour decant/breath (2:00pm-5:00pm) then back in the bottle and was opened and consumed over three hours (7:30pm-10:30pm). It continued to open up in the bottle/glass right up to the last drop. I expect this to cellar for another decade. 94.
