Nice - not overly jammy, and with a distinct taste of orange peel. — 2 months ago
Upon opening this is very ‘simple’ - fruit & oak forward. Cherries & vanilla. Very much like a chilled Rioja Crianza. With time more depth emerges & more complexity.
Still cherries, but also undergrowth. The oakiness fades. The nose gains freshness.
On the palate this (with time) sheds the fleshy cherry and gains freshness & crispiness. Surprisingly sturdy & dry tannins for a Pinot. And quite fleshy.
Not a Burgundy, def not a Spätburgunder, still (after some breathing time) quite. Interesting. . — 4 months ago
Nose: California pinot. Elegnat herbs. Sage.
Palate: linear cherry fruit. Bright. Clean.

One of my favorite GSM blends. Gloriously rich and spicy. Still years of life left. — 7 months ago
One of Australia’s best Cabernets. Sue Hodder who is Wynns’ chief winemaker told me that only the best 2% of their wide resources of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes goes into John Riddoch. I guess it explains the continuing high quality of Black Label (the next Cabernet down in the Wynns range and an unbelievable bargain). Sue was the chief winemaker in 2008 when she made this wine and remains the chief winemaker at Wynns. See previous Delectable note as things haven’t changed much. Coonawarra Mint, cassis and blackcurrant. A full bodied palate with fine persistent tannins. — 2 months ago

Beautiful wine! Restrained and delightful, with fruit, freshness, acidity, low alcohol and a round mouthfeel. You’ll like this one! — 20 days ago
