Wynns Coonawarra Estate
Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon
Coonawarra, Limestone Coast, South Australia, Australia
From the days back when they used a simple bottle with a shallow punt. And what a classically crafted Coonawarra cab this is. At 22 years of age the opening aromas showed no sign of mustiness or forgotten old books. It carries a spirit of youthfulness within its soft and supple exterior. Drinking so beautifully now! Soft mint, eucalyptus, menthol hints opening to tart black currant, dried violets, roasted fennel, cocoa and cured meat. The velvety soft palate fades in intensity towards the back, but the intrigue of each sip makes up for the lack of length. Great vintage for this wine.

Started great but seemed to fade as the evening progressed. Should have had this with dinner, not after. Overall still enjoyed the experience.

1998. Great smooth flavour, tannin all but gone. Benefits from a few hours minimum in the decanter. Still amazingly full flavoured with rich fruit and a long palette.

Deep red with hints of brown in the rim. Classic cabernet nose. Oak and fruit in perfect balance on the palate with good length and acid. Great now but wont improve further. Drink up.
