Lead to believe that the 14' is going to be relatively hard to live up to but this is pretty damn enjoyable regardless. The thick, oily texture here could be possibly confused as potential barrel work, especially served warm, but don't let that fool you. Wet stones, chlorine, green apple and white peach aromas. The palate has a gob-tonne of green apple but despite that oily texture there's plenty of acidity here too — 9 years ago

This guy still needs another couple years to age. And when you open it wouldn't hurt to decant. But it's got good legs for aging, which kinda makes me wish I had bought more than one. Or waited longer. Thick as you might want in a red and rife with cassis, dried bay leaf, vanilla and maybe violets. Strong tannins. Yeah...I thought it would be okay to have this 2010 now but it could use a year or so. Or it may just be an overpowering cab. I mean it is tasty but pretty overpowering! Right now. — 9 years ago

When you're drinking singular wine, on the winery itself, while the dude makes fresh pasta for your lunch and you're looking at the excessively pretty scenery of the strzelecki ranges, the rating can only be in the high nines. Viva Patrick and Megan. — 10 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

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 — 11 years ago

Initial flavours - Blackberry, spice, mint, pencil shavings with a hint of chocolate. Decanted and left to breathe for a good couple of hours. BBQ'd some scotch fillet steaks and whacko, what a feast. The wine had mellowed significantly and blackberry flavours came to the fore over the spice and tannins. Cracking experience. Savoured every last drop. — 9 years ago

2014. High acidity, cheese rind, tart green apple, green apple skin, lemon, salinity, touch of bioche. Yum. — 9 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. — 11 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. — 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 — 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

It has notes of tart fruit and you can really get the mineral taste. This wine was really good with shellfish! — 11 years ago
