Wine 5
Campbells, The Barkly 2001
Durif
Rutherglen, Victoria
Earlier this Durif would have been crimson brick red colour with brick red hue and ferfumed lift on the nose, with aroma of cedar, stewed fruit, plum and confectionary.
Flavours of plum, spice, vanilla and confectionary with soft tannins.
However, by 2024 the wine showed the brown hue of an aged wine and much of the complexity of the Durif flavours had dissipated.
