Opaque black crimson colour with a dark crimson red hue. Aromas of blackcurrants and mulberries are followed by some cedary tobacco characters, light bay leaf and spice. Medium to full bodied the palate possesses good richness with ripe blackcurrant flavours overlaying some dark mulberries, cedar, light cigar box and spice. Dryish finish with solid but fine grained tannins. Medium to long blackcurrant, cedary tobacco and spice aftertaste.

Other Reviews....
Another wine from Wynns and the '12 vintage that shows a significant change in winemaking direction, with the alcohol of 13.5%. While the Woodley Treasure Chest wines were basically shiraz, none wholly cabernet sauvignon, this wine has a structure those wines had in their early maturity. What is most interesting here is the early development on the palate of savoury flavours and firm tannins, yet allowing the fruit to maintain its line through to the all-important finish, where balance is not in question. Drink by 2032.
