“Ripe dark plum fruit, with all sorts of other notes adding complexity: roasted coffee, nutmeg, cola and much more. Very beguiling aromatically. This wine has Bannockburn’s sweet concentrated fruit, framed, and given structure by integrated ripe tannin and acid. It is all about power with restraint.”
