Glossy deep purple. Multilayered and intense aromas, elegant and attractive, with the appearance of ripe dark fruits dark cherry and blackberry notes, and hints of complex spice. Impressively balanced and soft with a feeling of ripe fruit, black pepper, dry leaves and soft acidity. Polished, fine French oak stretches out the back palate and enhances the dark and brambly notes. The tannins are 'melted', perfectly ripe, and the finish is long, smooth, fragrant and juicy.
98 Points - Andrew Caillard
"Medium deep crimson. Beautiful blackcurrant, black plum aromas with violet, dark cherry aromas and underlying toasty oak nuances. Superb cassis, black plum flavours, inky textures fine long graphite tannins, vanilla oak complexity and vinosity. Finishes chalky firm and minerally with lovely fruit sweetness. This is a brilliant black label with all the hallmarks of a great vintage and reflecting the Coonawarra terroir at its best. 13.8% Alc"
95 Points - James Halliday Wine Companion
"This is sumptuous, savoury cabernet at a ridiculous price. The tannins are pristine and tight of grain; the acidity fresh and juicy; the oak embellishing rather than smothering; the fruit, an effortless flow of currant, leaf, mint, bitter chocolate and a punctuation of bay leaf and a herbal potpourri, staining the long finish."
95 Points - Huon Hooke
"Deep, ripe cabernet aromas, blackberry and cedar, with a subtle but noticeable kiss of oak, and no green elements. The wine is very elegant and balanced, intense and soft textured, ripe and harmonious. The body is only medium to full, the tannins velvet smooth. A superb example of the Wynns style. (The 61st vintage of the 'black label')"
95 Points - Toni Paterson
"A perfectly composed and refined cabernet sauvignon with plush dark fruit and exquisitely integrated tannin. The balance of this wine is superb, allowing it to be enjoyed now, or well into the future."
91 Points - Joe Czerwinski Robert Parker Wine Advocate
"The 2016 Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon is a top example of this Coonawarra classic. Mint adds a cool touch to the vibrant cassis fruit in this smooth, streamlined wine. Medium to full-bodied, it's concentrated, ripe and harmonious, with a long, elegant finish. It may be drunk with pleasure now or anytime over the next decade or so."
