The 2022 Bannockburn is such a joyous introduction to the new vintage releases from Felton Road, and already gorgeously drinkable, with pure red cherry, wild strawberry, and fragrant five-spice aromatics. It is vivacious and has instant charm, lift, and brightness. The tannins are silky and supple. For all its immediacy, there is complexity, too, and fine detail – with a rocky minerality and some darker fruit on the mid-palate. Lively and fresh on the finish. This is one to buy in volume this vintage – as you’ll drink most of it before the year is out!
