Bouchard Finlayson Hannibal 2011

These grapes ripened well to produce friendly wild berry flavours with opulent, gentle tannins providing long and harmonious finish!

My best description of Hannibal 2011 is that it is the kind of wine which one pulls the cork on while cooking only to discover the bottle is empty before sitting down to dinner. It is perfectly elegant with sufficient "leather" in its taste profile – a reminder of its Italian links.
