2020 Pinot Noir Bannockburn

The Real Review Bob Campbell MW August 2020 95/100 Deep-tinted pinot noir with black doris plum, dark cherry and berries, together with a seasoning of five-spice. Quite firmly structured with underlying complexity that promises to reveal itself with bottle age. A seriously good pinot noir.

Vinous Rebecca Gibb MW Jan 2022 92 Points The 2020 Pinot Noir Bannockburn is welcoming as well as rich, savory and sinewy, delivering a plump cloud of both lifted and brooding fruit: a portion of whole-cluster fermentation has brought herbal and violet high notes alongside red and black cherry. There’s excellent concentration despite this being the entry to the Felton Pinot range, and fine, lightly furry tannins on the medium-long finish. This could be approached now, but it’s better to wait a couple of years to let the components settle.
