Greg Dew reviewed this wine as follows:

The wine is ageing gracefully. Attracrive nose, very slightly astringent on the front palate before a very rewarding taste in the back palate. Cellaring time, at least 10 years if cellared properly.

Ryan Hindmarsh rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Wynner, Wynner, Chicken dinner. Anything Wynns makes is usually good in my books.
Like Mike Tyson eating peanut butter right out of the jar. This Shiraz is powerful, really really dense and it sticks to the roof of your mouth. Put some Phil Collins on and pour this beside a plate of ribs soaked with your favorite BBQ sauce.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

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.
