Wynns 2005 Michael Shiraz SAMay08 will sell for approximately $70 when it is released and is sealed under screwcap. The wine is now matured in almost all French oak. The bouquet shows blackberry, plum, hints of black pepper, and spice. It's a well-balanced wine and the deeply-seated, strong fruit delivers plum, pepper, blackberry and hints of oregano which are offset by prominent coffee oak. The acid is fresh and the tannins silky. A muscular-weight, supple wine with a solid structure and well-developed complexity, it's a good wine but from a personal perspective I don't like the oregano component, although many will. Rated as Excellent with *** for value, it should be in its peak drinking window between 2012 and 2022.
