Wynns 2007 Shiraz SAMay08 will sell for approximately $18 when it is released and is sealed under screwcap. The wine had just been bottled so was not showing its best. The bouquet was slightly stinky but there was some pleasant, ripe, sweet peppery fruit below. It's driven by loads of fresh fruit which are adequately supported by silky tannins, and come together to form a medium-weight wine with a soft consistency, and agreeable level of complexity. Chocolate, hints of pepper and creamy tannins finish dry and long with a touch of tar. This wine will be hugely popular but needs time to settle down. The rating of Agreeable with **** for value does not do it justice and it will increase once it gets over its bottle shock; drink from 2009 to 2015.
