Bannockburn Serre Pinot Noir 2024

Planted in ’84 and extended in ’86; certified organic in ’21. 100% destemmed and matured in French hogsheads (40% new). A medium-deep, crimson ruby. Exotic aromas of intense, brambly red and black fruits intermingle with dark rose, blood orange and a little leather. The medium-bodied palate is simultaneously concentrated yet beautifully balanced with ripe, persistent and supple tannins rounding out a seriously good wine to drink over the next 10–15 years at least. 97 points – Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion
