James Halliday Wine Companion

Description Pinot Noir lovers need no introduction to Bannockburn, a 5 red star Geelong winery. Here, indulge in a "challenging" (Halliday) Pinot with 92pts. It's probably not for everyone, but serious Pinot Noir lovers will relish the challenge - and the incredible complexity! "Challenging style with a (very) high proportion of whole bunches, not all of which were taken in the wine's stride. This is all sweet-sour cherries, beet, earth, potato skins and spice, its stalkiness tattooed across its face. It's fluid and juicy, inherently complex, and succulent through the finish. There's a good chance it will age well too. Whether or not there's too much winemaking on show is the question...92pts" (Halliday).
