Felton Road Bannockburn Pinot Noir 2023

Vibrant and youthful core of red fruits lead the bouquet, layered with scents of clay and stone, fresh wild flowers of the forest, a mix of spices from fruit and barrel and a layer of lees complexity adding depth and style. Definitively new, taut, dry and young on the palate with a youthful squeeze and salivation from tannins and acidity. At the centre of this wine are the flavours of red fruits from raspberry to cherry begin to show as the wine opens out on palate. Dry, lengthy and very new with best drinking from 2028 through 2038. Outstanding. Score – 95. (Cameron Douglas, MS, camdouglasms.com, Nov. 8, 2024)
