Tasted in 2016: Medium pale straw color. Pronounced ripe apple notes combined with honeyed melons, calcareous clay, and hints of vanilla. Divine finish that lingers. — 7 years ago
Young, but tasty. Much more full bodied than 2014. Blackberry with a touch of earth. Tannic with a tart acidity. Almost more cranberry on the finish. Think it needs more time, but good. A Gamay that can last!? — 8 years ago
Elegant, smooth, flavoursome. Puts a quiet smile on your dial. — 9 years ago

Well if the 82 Bordeaux are proving amazing so is this Wynns 82; like it's cousins in the Medoc; very cabernet dominant; winemaker at the time John Wade, now a WA resident; had his first go at small barrique winemaking; now more cleverly used by Sue Hodder; current winemaker; this 13% wine still has the black fruit of correctly ripe cabernet; and the tannin draw and backbone which ticks my boxes; great drink from Coonawarra; wished more from that region show this way; the bar is set; 33 years later; #wynns #coonawarra #cabernet #1982 — 10 years ago
It has notes of tart fruit and you can really get the mineral taste. This wine was really good with shellfish! — 11 years ago
Juicy red berries, eucalyptus, intense floral notes. Super funky, but yet so balanced. Playful. Like butterfies in your belly, it’s like a crazy romance. One of the best I drank in 2017! — 7 years ago
Very pretty and consistent with the house style. I will say that I did not find it particularly Grand Cru. Never developed much length or complexity, though I can at least say it didn't feel manipulated and was a pure expression of Chablis. But 2014, I hoped for more? — 8 years ago
Gorgeous Coonawarra, rich and luscious with slight hint of spice and nice tannin structure followed by decent dark fruits. — 8 years ago
Crisp and apple tones perfect with a seafood board — 9 years ago
One of the most interesting cabs ever not over extracted like some Napa cabs it unique I tasted the coonwarra terrior multiple times lacked tannins — 9 years ago
Super herbal, fresher than it seems and full of fruit. Decant this guy to let it open up. On opening, lots of iron and herbs. — 10 years ago
Love this wine. Good combination of Bordeaux best red grapes. It comes from Australia. Big rich and lively. If you can find this producer and this wine buy it — 10 years ago
The nose missleads one with a slight oxidative hint and aromas of cider, fowl and quince, but the palate is fresh and primary with excellent acidity, rich yet soft fruit and a long finish of peach, strawberry and macadamia. — 10 years ago
Drank 7/3/18. Excellent pairing with shrimp in a butter and garlic sauce.
Nose of apple and pears, backed by some earthy elements. On the palate a medium to full mouthfeel yields flavors of green apple and pear backed by some subtle minerality and lemon curd. The flavors last on the finish for around 45 seconds. Very nice. If there is such thing as value in Burgundy, this is it. Enjoyed this more than the last time I drank it, though both were good experiences.

Notes of dusty mulberries and blackberries - also olive. A beautiful balancing act of 60%Cabernet Sauvignon and 31%Merlot and 9% Shiraz. Very different to the 1996 Moss Wood had recently because of the Merlot in the blend. Good density and concentration. A class act. — 8 years ago
Nose is linear and soft. Lime, beer foam, chalk, apple blossom. Palate is juicy, broad, mouth-filling with loads of golden apple, lime, rocks, and underripe melon. Zippy. — 8 years ago
Towards the end of drinkable life. Pleasantly surprised by how much fruit was left. Great texture. — 10 years ago
I had the 2010 vintage... It was delicious. It needs some air (give or take 30 min) to get rid of a slight musty smell but even immediately after pouring it tastes amazingly balanced! Very round cab sav with tastes of blackberries and cassis and even some cheeky but very welcomed hint of soil. Perfect combination for my lamb. Will definitely try it again! — 10 years ago
Found this hidden on a shelf of a local liquor store. Was worried about how well it has been stored. Well it's in great shape balanced the fruit has been relaxed the spices subdued Im probably not writing the best review but I rarely do. So this is good. And im gonna go rob these shelves of the rest of these bottles. — 10 years ago
Now here we go. Mouth-coating goodness, a more electric nose of beeswax and minerals, clearly a grand Cru body. Doesn't compare with 2010 but it's nice to see another side. — 10 years ago
