…It was the fragrance, purity, finesse and length of the Bannockburn that captured the admiration of everyone, not least Evans, who, in declaring it was a great Burgundy showed even the gods can be fallible.”

A fragrant, highly spiced bouquet; has intense flavours, again quite spicy on the very long palate; 25% whole bunch component works very well. A selection of half of the best barrels from the 30-year-old Olive Tree Hill Vineyard. Rating 94.

New winemaker Michael Glover has maintained the classic Bannockburn style, with trademark foresty bouquet due to stalks in the ferment. Good depth and richness, fruit sweetness and charm. Now to five years.
94/100

Michael Glover's energy, attention to detail and thoughtful winemaking has enabled him to put his own mark on the Bannockburn wines.... The 2006 Pinot is quite restrained and tight with subtle savoury fragrances, a complex array of briary, mushroomy forest-floor characters, primal and varietal yet finishing with a gentle grip and persistence.

The class of the wine is immediately apparent, with great mouthfeel, balance and length, perhaps there is a touch of mint (possibly reflecting low alcohol), but it is a minor part of a delicious pinot made in a difficult year. Cork. 13.5%alc. Rating 94 Drink 2014
