1998 Bannockburn Shiraz Magnum (1500ml)

Was $199.99 now only $150.00

Garry Farr produced this wine from fruit sourced from many 'mates' in the Australian wine industry - the reason he had to do that was that a hail storm cut through the Bannockburn Vineyard and destroyed his crop, hence the South Eastern Australia appellation.

Other reviews... Hopefully, a never-to-be-repeated wine, made from grapes grown throughout Victoria and South Australia in the aftermath of hail devastation of the estate vineyards. Wonderfully aromatic and fragrant, with a seamless flow of cherry plum and spice through the bouquet and the supple palate. Impeccable.
97 points- James Halliday, October 2000.

...My favorite Bannockburn offering is the 1998 Shiraz. It lacks the heft that most Australian Shiraz provide, but this is a cooler climate wine with a deep ruby/purple color, olive-tinged, black currant flavors, some spice, and wood. It exhibits good sweetness on the attack and a medium-bodied, lightly tannic finish. Wine Advocate #135 (Jun 2001) Robert Parker
