Wine Companion Review:

96 Points

One sip, you're in. Another seductive Black Label - its 63rd vintage - and it's a wow. Excellent vintage conditions have no doubt helped, but this Australian icon doesn't need a lot of assistance outside its trio of long-time 'curators': Sue Hodder, Allen Jenkins and Sarah Pidgeon.

Masses of blackberry fruits, a touch of black olive savouriness, stewed rhubarb, violets. Casts a wide net across the palate with sustained black fruits and spice, but also notes of coffee grounds, bay leaf and vanilla. Oak enhances, yet keeps itself in the background.

      Maybe in the future.
      Cheers

    Drinking a Wynns Coonawara Estate Cab Sav 1976 ( Jimmy Watson Trophy Winner ) thirteen years later

    in 1989 is what got me into wines and never looked back.

  • Is this under cork or screwcap? Have noticed some other lots on sale under cork, hence why I ask. Thanks.

    • It's Screw Cap.
      Cheers

  • Good value cab sav, especially for 2018. I have a case of 2014.

  • This a nice deal on a quality red.

    Purchased.

  • Just ordered! How does the free annual membership get applied?

  • My trusted review site, the Wine Front, has this at 93+ points. Points are obviously subjective, my read is that it’s a run-of-the-mill black label CS that will settle a bit with time. Reasonable buying? Yes, bargain? Debatable.
