Medium bodied and complex with plum, dark cherry and mulberry fruit with earth and pepper.

Ralph Kyte Powell, The Age Good Food Guide: 91 (2012) A wonderfully hearty regional shiraz from Rutherglen with a friendly easy feel. Plums, berries licorice and vanilla ice-cream aromas lead into a medium-bodied palate, backed by soft, ripe tannins.
Bobbie Burns Shiraz is drinking beautifully on release, 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 cheeks.
“A Campbells and Rutherglen icon – showing the true power of the Rutherglen shiraz fruit with the tannin structure for longevity. For more than forty years our Bobbie Burns Shiraz has enjoyed a reputation for being of consistently high quality. This vintage is a fine example of the style we seek for our Bobbie Burns Shiraz.” - Colin Campbell
