Bannockburn Shiraz 2003

Description

All Bannockburn wines are made from fruit grown on their long-established estate in the Geelong wine region. The meticulously tended vineyards and the hands-off approach by winemaker Matt Holmes result in wines that are exciting, complex and uniquely Bannockburn. An old fashioned Rhone inspired Shiraz. Medium body with crimson colour and crimson hue. Perfumed nose of spice, cedar and truffle. The palate is finely structured, more French than typical Australian. Flavours of earth are evident followed by nuances of cedar, old leather and plum. Moderate palate length. Fine grained tannins, excellent balance. The finish is layered with earth, old leather and spice.
