Black Label is an institution and the refinement of recent vintages are the dividends of drastic vineyard makeovers with chainsaws a decade ago. 2010 is the wine to drink while the tightly wound 2009 slowly uncoils in the cellar. This early and generous vintage has been carefully handled, presenting accurate and vibrant red- and blackcurrants, capsicum, cedar and tobacco. True to the season, there is a liberal swell of fruit in the mid-palate, which quickly pulls into a controlled finish. Well balanced dark chocolate oak forms a backdrop, while firm, fine tannins promise medium-term endurance.

Blackcurrant, strong menthol character, tobacco and pencil. Its firm and muscular with the graphite-like tannin thats typical of many from this vintage dominating the palate. Controlled and strict, but with ample fruit, its a long way away from the round ball of mid-palate fruit that so many Coonawarra Cabs show. Heres a serious wine that will need decades to unwind. Does have a lack of flesh on the mid-palate (as per CM) but I suspect its just buried under the all the scaffolding at present, waiting to be revealed. Difficult wine to rate in some respects. I could give it 91+ or 93+ reckon it will be good with time. Perhaps a classic.

Medium weight blackcurrant and earth with a spicy, cigar-boxy edge. Varietal, pure, clean and cellarable. Gum leaf lift to the nose. Tannin that builds as it breathes. Reasonable length but a hole in the mid palate. I m often one of the ra-ra boys for Wynns Black Label but this one didn t move me. No doubt it will still do well in the cellar over time.
