Wynns has made great strides during the last 10 years to improve its wines across the range. The 2009 Wynns Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon is loaded with dark blackcurrant fruit. It needs time to unfold in the glass and would benefit from decanting. There is a lack of fruit and mouthfeel on the mid palate. The wine is still quite taut at this point and the tannins are coarse. This wine would definitely have benefitted from some more generosity.
I would recommend to keep this wine a few years longer, but the risk will be that the tannins will mellow, while the fruit weakens also.
This is not what I had hoped for from this good vintage.
