Bobbie Burns Shiraz Magnum 2015
A Rutherglen Icon!
DESCRIPTION
Tasting Notes
Dense, dark red. In the magnum format the wine is showing lifted black plum fruit.
Wine Making
After fermentation on skins for six to seven days using closed stainless fermenters, the wine was subsequently aged for a period of 18 months in a mixture of new to three year old premium French and American oak.
Cellaring
Our long history with this wine suggests it will continue to develop in the bottle for a further 10-12 years. Enjoy now with a Moroccan spice rubbed fillet of beef or over time with slow braised beef or lamb.

Palate:
Smooth, plush, jammy fruit with intense dark plums and blackcurrent fruit. Fine velvety tannins, great length with spice and a warm grippy finish. Like a hug from an old friend.
