Tasting Notes and Scores

92 EL

The 2021 Bannockburn Pinot Noir is densely packed and powerful on the nose, with a cavalcade of red fruits, exotic spice (moving towards sumac) and peppercorns. In the mouth, the wine is spicy, exciting and full, with ripe fruit through the finish and a lick of raw cocoa. Supple and satisfying, this is a very good, consistent wine. Verging on lusty, it does show some restraint. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Bannockburn offers fine tension and sinew. I rather like it for being understated and having a corset of acidity and tannic tension around it. Sour red cherry, damson, wild herbs, a twist of nutmeg and it's all rather pleasing. Long, scented and excellent value with praiseworthy tannin quality.
