Wynns 2005 John Riddoch SAMay08 will sell for approximately $80 when it is released and is sealed under screwcap. The bouquet is broody but fresh and clean. This is a seriously good wine with masses of pure, fresh, ripe fruit that is almost seamlessly meshed with smooth, fine tannins and crisp acid. Dark chocolate, blackcurrant, coffee, hints of cigar box, tobacco leaf, plum and cherry flavours together with all sorts of other good things finish on very long, drying tannins. It's a full-bodied wine with a supple consistency and a tight, solid structure. It's more approachable than previous versions and is rated Excellent with *** for value, but the rating may improve as the wine enters its peak drinking window between 2015 and 2030. The work that Wynns have done in their vineyards is starting to pay big dividends.
