2013 Campbells Bobbie Burns Shiraz, Rutherglen Victoria

Deep dark red with purple hues.  The nose has real depth, almost brooding, with dark plums and blackberry perfectly integrated with the more elegant characters of black pepper and aniseed. A hint of spicy oak sits in the background.  This wine is full bodied with mouth filling plum and mulberry fruit, beautifully structured with layers of fine tannin and complementary characters of licorice, ironstone and cocoa. A wonderful vintage that is destined to be very special in time.

Australian Wine Companion says:

Richness and personality. Excellent release. Blackberry, iodine, leather and toast, with musky notes adding an extra layer of appeal. Grainy, earthen tannin gives it an authoritative stamp. Excellent value
