| DC's Wynns Black Label "Even Years" Vertical Tasting 7/12/02: Colour - dark red, almost opaque with tight purplish-red rim. Nose - closed on opening, and this bottle remained fairly closed even after a couple of hours of decanting. Much swirling of the tasting glasses brought up teasing hints of cassis, berries with a tinge of capsicum. Palate - massive, powerful and concentrated! Taste buds assaulted by concentrated cassis, berries and black cherries, capsicum. Loads of fine tannins but does not feel that way in the mouth. This is a monster of a wine that has years and years in it - definitely in its dormant phase at this tasting, but when it opens up (who knows when??)... Watch Out! |
