Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
The wine seems to have been around forever, and so it has: this is the 53rd vintage, as the label proclaims. It is barrel-aged in 84% French oak, 31% new (plus a nominal 2% new American) the remainder seasoned, and comes from the top 25% of the available cabernet resources of Wynns. It is rich and luscious, with blackcurrant and dark chocolate aromas and flavours, the palate lengthened and strengthened by ripe yet fine tannins. [Drink until 2025] Score: 94 Source: James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au
