Bannockburn Pinot Noir

This wine always has a sort of oxidation. Black olive aromas and flavors. #pinotnoir #centralotago

Unfortunately it was oxidized. I thought #newworld #newzealand and #screwcap even if it’s 2011 it should be perfect...not the case. It was gone. Optimum Storage

A little high alch for Pinot but delish nonetheless

Intense Pinot from Central Otago. Heavy ‘burned earth’ notes characterizing the wine. We carried this bottle back with us in 2018 visiting the region. Great pairing with pita chips and blue cheese.

Nice CN PN. Cherry/raspberry bordering strawberry w some body. Not huge syructure for appellation but fair. Matured to heighth.

Very smooth. Toasted marshmallow. Subtle smoke and sweet finish. Beautiful Pinot.

Cherries and earth with a peppery finish. Good body, Nice pn

White pepper and red fruit on the nose. Light medium body with a nice intensity for a Pinot. Bell pepper and minerals give way to a peppery finish.

A decent variant of Central Otago Pinot. Some nice fruit development and structure, but not too complex on the nose (which was in stark contrast to the 2016 we had that had a killer complex nose but was flat - probably too young). The 2013 here is a nice pairing for fresh Te Anau venison...

A nose that made me super excited to taste it, but the drinking fell flat. This one may be too young (2016) as it just seemed dumb and lifeless.
