2023 Pinot Noir Bannockburn

Jamessuckling.com, James Suckling – November 2024 Perfumed aromas of wild strawberries, red raspberries, blood oranges and dried herbs. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and precise acidity, giving notes of blackberries, potpourri, wet bark, dark cherries and graphite. Finely balanced and refined. Made from a blend of all four estate vineyards. Drink or hold. Screw cap, 95 points. The Real Review, Stephen Wong MW – October 2024 A gorgeous nose of meltingly sweet berry fruit from raspberry and boysenberry to black cherry, sitting under a cloud of youthful wood, red dates, Indian spice and dried thyme. The flavour-packed palate is neatly tapered with very young, squeaky tannins which provide grain and texture to the otherwise decadent raspberry stripe of fruit. An expanding touch of earthy spice carries some warmth on the finish as it gives way to a deeper, brooding aspect. There is a hidden power and darkness within which is waiting to emerge. 95/100 ***** Drink: 2025-2038

2024 Riesling Bannockburn

November 2024, Jamessuckling.com, James Suckling

Fruit- and mineral-driven aromas of lemon blossoms, lime zest and green-apple tart. The light-bodied, nervy palate has a laserlike acidity cutting through 49 g/L of residual sugar. A wonderfully balanced, off-dry style with an underlying freshness.

Drink or hold. Screw cap. 94 Points
