2010 Pinot Noir Bannockburn

Tasting Date: March 2011

A nose of dusty florals emphasised by pink roses and violets integrates seamlessly with Asian spices of cinnamon and clove.  The palate opens softly, staying with the florals and adding fresh berries and a pleasing seam of minerality.  Mouth-coating, but never cloying, it is subtle and caressing; a wine of harmony, restraint and sophistication that intrigues rather than shouts its breeding.  It finishes with enough tannin to frame the wine neatly.
