Estate-grown at Bannockburn and harvested at 25 brix, the 2010 vintage (5*) was matured in French oak barriques (50 per cent new). Deeply coloured, it is very youthful and fruit-packed, with notably concentrated cherry, plum and spice flavours that have lapped up the new oak. A muscular, firm wine with lovely ripeness and richness, it should be at its best 2013+.
