| Unripe fruit. Green. Astringent. Probably a victim of the conditions. It's never going to get better, and its not very good. | ||

| Had with a beef pie. Went really well with the pie - could easily be confused for a Bordeaux ... but when sipped on its own, the wine was much 2 dimensional - oak and fruit ... it seems to be still integrating - it seems it is easily going to be worth trying again at 5yrs from now. It is lost its purple edge, the nose displays great tobacco but with quite a bit of VA, and on tasting it is clear that the wine had a good slab of oak. The aftertaste is what i like most .... roses. :) | ||

| Bacchus Food & Wine Club Tasting (3/6/04) dark ruby red, hints of purple still on a tight rim, opaque body. Nose: cassis, plummy, dark berries. On the palate: concentrated, structured but a tad lean, a little green still, with a tiny hints of flesh and white pepper; consequences of a cool vintage? Decent length, still firm tannins and finishes slightly bitter. Like my previous notes for this wine, definitely needs more time to improve and open up. | ||

On the palate, inky, concentrated fruit core but with a tiny hint of white pepper. Decent length, firm tannins. Definitely needs more time to improve and open up! | ||

| Tasted 11/11/02. The Wynns black label cab sav is a favourite wine of mine. I first tasted the 1996 vintage in 2000 - it packed a lot of fruit and slightly bitter/green tannins back then. Two years on, the tannins have softened a bit in relation to the fruit, though there is still a slight greeness/bitterness in the finish. Colour is dark ruby red, with a cassis, blackcurrant nose. On the palate, delicious fruit but no hint of secondary characteristics yet, with the aforementioned green/bitter notes. A nice length, finishes dry. I think this wine can still improve - give it another couple of years in the cellar and see what happens! | ||

| Brilliant. I really enjoyed this on release. I have not tried it since. Will try again in 2004. | ||
