For normal people who like to drink and cellar wine, though perhaps not for the Hipsters and Wanksters (no offence, Hipsters & Wanksters), Wynns Black Label is one of the most important releases of the year. Smells good - like a real Cabernet. Cedar wood, black olive, mint, black fruit, earth and some vanilla oak. It's a broody and muscular Black Label, dense and unashamedly tannic, with an adult savoury flavour profile, though a little sweet oak softens the effect. It perhaps needs to grow into its finish over time, with some black tea tannin reeling it in a little at present, but undoubtedly has the stuffing to sit comfortably with some of the better Black Label vintages. Has plenty of appeal and charisma. I'm your fan, Blackie.

Black Label has legendary longevity (I'm still awaiting 1994s in my cellar) and the tight 2009 vintage pulls it away from the overt, expressive styles of late and back to the classic, monumentally structured demeanour of old. Sinewy, taut dark berry fruits lurk.

Wynns cabernet is one of Australia's most recognisable reds and its quality is consistently excellent. Mulberry, juicy blackcurrant, dried herbs and a whiff of rustic earthiness mark the nose. Cedary oak is finely balanced and the palate combines ripe cabernet fruit and varietal austerity with good depth and body followed by a very long finish.

Black Label is back on form after THAT vineyard makeover with chainsaws a decade ago! For Coonawarra cabernet, this is exact: crunchy blackcurrants, fresh liquorice sticks, balanced oak, fine acidity, seamless tannins. It's got more than a decade of Easters left in it yet!
