Wolf Blass Cabernet 'Grey Label' 1999 --James Halliday 92 750ml
| Youthful red-purple, very impressive; ripe cassis/blackcurrant fruit is woven through subtly integrated and balanced oak on the bouquet. A powerful wine on the palate, with lots of dark berry fruit, but also tannins and (of course) oak, the latter derived from the completion of fermentation in a mix of French and American barrels, and 28 months maturation thereafter in those barrels. A long way from the original Wolf Blass style, for the wine still demands time, having developed very well over the past year. --James Halliday, March 20, 2002.
