A slightly advanced colour introduces a mature wine with a leathery, spicy bouquet of great complexity and detail. Full-bodied, savoury and finely textured, fleshy and well-structured. Firm, dry finish. A lovely food wine.

Campbell Mattinson 93 Points!"It's a big, warm wine for a Bannockburn shiraz but it pulls the style off. It does because it maintains its spicy, savoury edges. It tastes of tar and dried herbs, dark cherries and woodspice. It finishes warm but the flavours are both interesting, and appealing. It's a wine that definitely needs some air though; it's challenging at first, but given air it scrubs up nicely. A least a couple of hours in the decanter are advised. An interesting wine though, no doubt."
Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, Dec 10
"Inky dark red in colour. Youthful hue. A deep, dark nose - chocolate, coffee, blackberry, cherry, meat and sausage characters, also raisined fruits. The nose is intense and almost spirituous. These characters carry to the palate which is very full, rich and powerful. There is excellent balance and integration of flavours, with dark chocolate and coffee characters driving the palate. Plenty of lovely, ripe tannin keeps the palate going on and on. This is a big powerful expression of Bannockburn Shiraz!"
