Unbelievably approachable for a wine with this pedigree upon release.
One for the ages, Coonawarra doing its thing. — 6 years ago
Solid. Would get again. — 7 years ago
This has aged very well! — 7 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. — 8 years ago

黑色水果,胡椒,馥郁香气。 — 5 years ago
Always going to be the highlight of the Wynns tasting and only made in years where the fruit quality and vintage conditions were exceptional. Sue Hodder said everything fell into place in 2015 and she made one of her best ever Riddochs. From less than 1% of Wynns available Cabernet fruit. Latent power on nose and palate with black fruits and balanced oak. At least a 30 year future but so balanced you could happily drink this now but one should wait at least 10 years for its charms to start showing through. A brilliant 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. — 6 years ago
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. — 7 years ago
Gorgeous Coonawarra, rich and luscious with slight hint of spice and nice tannin structure followed by decent dark fruits. — 7 years ago
I'd buy this by the dozen. Enough said. — 8 years ago
Surprisingly lively with hints of pencil shavings, graphite and black current undertones — 8 years ago
No 7 tasted Coonawarra Cab at the Tasting. The best of the inexpensive Cabernets IMO. Very balanced. Could be drunk now with great satisfaction or cellared for 5+ years. All the Cabernet descriptors apply. Loved it. — 8 years ago
Loved this. — 9 years ago
Another yummy Taylor's wine — 10 years ago
Ethereal genius from the old stalwart — 11 years ago
Very good based on their price which is the best in that price range so far — 6 years ago
Fruited and elegant Shiraz, intense cassis with mulberries and a spicy peppery scent. Delicious Coonawarra shiraz! — 7 years ago
Good body, sweet at the front, dry finish, fruity notes — 7 years ago
Deep impenetrable blood red. Oak on the nose with bacon, violets, black currant jam and a little must. Light-medium acidity and almost non-existent tannins are a surprise but bespeaks its age. Some sweetness consistent with new world cab. Cassis and dark fruits. Complex and delicious. Went well with steak but not a classic pairing due to the lack of tannins and sweetness. Would compliment hard and semi hard cheeses well. Also stews and casseroles. — 8 years ago
Wine gained body along the meal and came out with a strong body. — 8 years ago
Fantastic Coonawarra Shitaz — 8 years ago
Once again another banner 2012 Australian vintage. — 9 years ago
