Alexandre Craig DWS, FWS rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Although Barossa wines are not my favorite style out there (and yes, I have tasted Grange), this one does have the merit of being very typical of the region. This is Australia's heartland of production, and many top estates are producing wines from here. Nevertheless, it's hot, and it's dry, displayed in the wine's stewed black fruit and dried prune aromas. Chocolate and smoked charcoal complete the mix, but the finish is warm, which is to be expected. Concentrated and powerful.

Martin Geleynse rated this wine as 90/100

Natalie's Review

3 Rings Shiraz 2012, Barossa Valley, South Australia, Australia: This robust red is packed with notions of black plums, blackberries and smoke. Full-bodied but not heavy: deliciously balanced Australian red wine. Great price. Lots of smoky, toasty oak with black charred plums. Try it with meat lovers' pizza tonight. Yes please! Drink: 2013-2017. 15495 13.50% D 750 mL $18.95 Score: 92/100. February 21, 2015 Best Value Red Wine. Heavenly Hamburger Wine Full Review

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
