Pinot Noir

2021
Smoke and spice on the nose initially, very complex and intriguing. There is black cherry, blackberry along with notes of warm iron and earth. Some classic Bannockburn aromatics here.The palate is tight and coiled at this stage, hinting at the concentration and depth of this low yielding vintage. There are red and black cherry along with a line of dried herbs (sage, thyme) from the whole bunch fermentation inclusion. The tannins are firm but fine, framing the fruit on the palate beautifully. This gives a lovely long finish, with tamarillo and cranberry notes.

2022
Dark garnet with ruby rim. Violets,bergamot and floral thyme notes on the nose, along with rich black cherry fruit.
The palate is soft and silky, even at an early stage, a hallmark of this vintage which gave us larger berries. Fine, supple and flowing across the mid palate with cherry plum and a hint of brown spices like cardamom and anise. Dangerously easy to drink now or will cellar nicely for 10 years.
