Firm and chewy, this serious mouthful of herb-scented dark cherry and cedar flavors has depth, presence and style. Just needs time. Best after 2001.??–HS??Region: Australia / Coonawarra Select to Add

Still young, this cuts a dark, handsome profile, opening with blackberry, dark chocolate and licorice. The mouthfeel is big and plummy, and though fatter in feel than the other Wynn’s reds, it has the same fine balance that characterizes the line. Closes long, with well-integrated black fruit and oak. Can use two or three years to really strut its stuff. Cellar Selection.——W.E.(11/1/2001)—— 93
