) that I didn't like at all - my memories of that was of blockbuster fruit and a general sense of massiveness and enough weight that it had the destructive gravitational pull of a neutron star.But this 2003 was a pleasant surprise. It is very oaky, but the peppery and dark fruit are well in evidence and aren't obfuscated by the wood, so perhaps this will turn out well. But the surprise is the palate: it is dense, but not as dense as a neutron star this time, moderate in alcohol for an Ozzie Shiraz at "only" 13,5%, rich but it is also DRY! Pretty high acidity and tannins. Refreshing finish.
So, has Wynns in recent years gone back to making more elegant wine or was that over-sized late '90's an exception for them?
