2024 Bannockburn Pinot Noir 1500ml Magnum

As is the "house-style" with Bannockburn pinots this tastes like there is more whole-bunch influence than there actually is. However those aromas and flavours of herbs, amaro and autumnal notes are pushed to the back by powerful fruit that has swallowed the 25% new oak. Red and dark berries, and cherries glow in the radiance if lovely structure and freshness with  Asian spice and sandalwood complexity. This is a fine release, and I don't believe that there has been a better one!
