Bannockburn La Terre Pinot Noir 2024

“Some wines just have that extra something, and this is one of those wines. It’s outstanding. The length of the finish here is for the ages. It tastes of iron, cherry, woodspice, undergrowth and cedar, red rose notes in the mix too, and it firms beautifully as it mounts its final attack. One sip and I was convinced. It’s complex, tense, and exquisitely well finished.” 96 points, Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front.

“Sitting on the edge of reduction, with an earth-driven focus and aromas of dried black fruits, smoked bark, cured meats, damp organic soils and burnt orange peel. The palate is finely tuned, with an herbal edge, fine-boned tannins and bright acidity. Nicely constructed. Drink or hold. Screw cap.”95 points, Ryan Montgomery, Jamessuckling.com.

“From a 0.72ha high-density vineyard planted in 2007. Totally destemmed and matured in 25% new hogsheads. A light, bright cherry red. Opens with aromas of red cherry, orange peel, autumnal spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg as well as some woodsy, bracken notes. There's a savoury nuance, too, on the flavoursome, finely detailed and structured palate.” 94 points, Philip Rich, The Wine Companion.

“Snap, crackle and pop on the nose, aromas of sap, Campari, dried herbs, cherry, earth, rhubarb and underbrush. There's plenty going on here. Fine, focused, layered and mouth-filling, with lashings of supple red fruits, spice, textured tannins and a woodsy, ferrous earthiness. Length and poise are impressive.” 95 points, Aaron Brasher, The Real Review.
