The 61st vintage of this remarkable wine - the Wynns Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon. Sue Hodder Chief winemaker said she had recently tasted all 61 vintages. I asked how the 1950s were holding up. She said apart from cork issues not too bad but the 60s were outstanding. This 2016 was from a slightly warmer vintage than 2015 and not as leafy as normal. Oaky but lovely Cabernet fruit. Obviously with a long future.

Always a cracking wine for the price. Dark fruited, leather, and eucalypt scored palate is mouth coating but not heavy, due to fine tannins. Balanced and integrated, this will age well for 10+ yrs.
