See Dominus note - a taste off of the two 1997s both from magnum. It was remarkable how the taste profiles were so similar with the Dominus having a little more camphor. Both excellent wines and I gave it to the Dominus by a point. The table vote gave it to the Wynns John Riddoch. No detailed tasting notes. — 6 years ago

Dark crimson in colour. Very dark for a 14 year old wine. This is the last year this was released as a Shiraz/Cabernet. Now from 2014 released as a straight Cabernet Sauvignon. On nose and palate masses of raspberries. I would struggle to pick this if tasted blind. Certainly no detectable Cabernet for me. Would think some Grenache influence with those raspberries - but none. Very powerful with a long future. Johnson’s Block was planted in 1954 making it the oldest surviving Cabernet Sauvignon Vineyard in Coonawarra. — 7 years ago

Our first wine from the Wynns dinner with chief Wine maker Sue Hodder. This is a very approachable young yet soft Riesling aimed at early consumption. A fuller fruity palate with light acid. I could happily drink this now. Short term cellaring. — 7 years ago

No idea how this wines rating is this bad. In fairness it did take a while to hit its straps but after a decent amount of air showing some beautiful stalky tones with old oak, among blackcurrants and forest berries. The palate is reasonably giving, tannins are settled and a little bit of an acid drive to it. It's got a lengthy finish too. Can't complain — 9 years ago

Had friends over for lunch on Saturday and had a match off with this 1997 Dominus with a 1997 Wynns John Riddoch - both from magnum. This Dominus I first tried at TriBeCa Grill in New York about 8 years ago and it was a wow wine for me. In fact the best Cabernet I had ever had outside of Bordeaux. No detailed notes but this was more savoury and less fruit driven than I remember. The consensus around the table was in favour of the Riddoch with me as the sole vote for the Dominus. No detailed tasting notes. — 6 years ago

I’ll repeat a standout vintage and impressive wine follows suit.
Depth and complexity at a young age. — 7 years ago

Made for early consumption like the Riesling. Perfect balance with a light oak touch and lovely stone fruit characters. Short term. Mild acid. — 7 years ago

Always going to be the highlight of the Wynns tasting and only made in years where the fruit quality and vintage conditions were exceptional. Sue Hodder said everything fell into place in 2015 and she made one of her best ever Riddochs. From less than 1% of Wynns available Cabernet fruit. Latent power on nose and palate with black fruits and balanced oak. At least a 30 year future but so balanced you could happily drink this now but one should wait at least 10 years for its charms to start showing through. A brilliant 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. — 7 years ago

Fruited and elegant Shiraz, intense cassis with mulberries and a spicy peppery scent. Delicious Coonawarra shiraz! — 8 years ago

Semi syrupy like palate. Artificial lemon notes that remind me of scented pump water, an intense lime cordial, honeyed and candied orange aromas. Not quite super sweet but somewhere edging on the border — 9 years ago
