Michael Cooper’s Buying Guide, 2014

The 2012 (*****) is deeply coloured, fragrant, vibrantly fruity and supple, with youthful cherry, plum and spice flavours, showing lovely richness and harmony.

Medium ruby-purple-colored, the 2012 Bannockburn Pinot Noir opens with attractive aromas of black cherries and black raspberries and underlying violet, aniseed and charcoal suggestions. Medium-bodied with plenty of mouth filling black and red berry flavors, it is structured with a medium level of finely grained tannins and crisp acid before finishing with good length. Drink it now to 2018+. 91 points
