Average Critic Score: 93.67/100
The 2008 Wynns Black Label (Coonawarra Estate) Cabernet Sauvignon, the 53rd vintage of this Australian icon, earned 94+ points from Gary Walsh (The Wine Front) and 94 from both James Halliday and Huon Hooke.
It is rich and luscious, with blackcurrant and dark chocolate aromas and flavours, the palate lengthened and strengthened by ripe yet fine tannins. - James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion (94 pts)
Drinking well now and through the late 2020s.
Critic Reviews
94 Points - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
“Cassis, vanilla cocoa and mint with an undercurrent of rich rolling tobacco. It's medium to full bodied with a beautifully thick tannic texture that rolls through the mouth gently and surely with no assault from oak, alcohol or acidity - just the firm confidence of quality ripe fruit and positive oak. Finishes with a slick of creamy tannin and a pinch of dried herb. It's a fulsome ripe year Coonawarra, perky, fighting fit and ready for action now, yet age shall not weary it. A Monty for the cellar. (Drink between 2014-2028) (94+ pts)”
94 Points - James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion
“The wine seems to have been around forever, and so it has: this is the 53rd vintage. It is barrel-aged in French oak, 31% new, and comes from the top 25% of the available cabernet resources of Wynns. It is rich and luscious, with blackcurrant and dark chocolate aromas and flavours, the palate lengthened and strengthened by ripe yet fine tannins. Special. Closure: Screwcap. 14% alcohol. AUD$33.99 (Drink by 2025)”
