IWC: By Jeremy Oliver
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Issue #109, July/August 2003)
(Wynns Coonawarra Estate Cabernet Sauvignon John Riddoch Coonawarra) ($50) Very dark purple-edged red. Brooding, very closed nose suggests dark plum, cassis and blackberry, intermeshed with dark chocolate and cedary oak notes and a whiff of briar. Assertive and powerful; a long-term red whose rich palate of dark fruit is tightly integrated with a firm spine of youthfully astringent tannins. Tough and rather unyielding at the moment, but should develop slowly and gracefully over the long term. 93 points |
