Bannockburn - De la Terre Pinot Noir - 2024

Bannockburn’s De La Terre vineyard was planted (to high density) in 2007, and certified organic in 2021. 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
