As the Mt Difficulty vineyards are ageing we are starting to see additional complexity emerging each vintage. The 2016 Mt Difficulty Bannockburn Pinot Noir has notes of earthy savouriness; mocha, and sweet brown spice elements overlaid earthy dark cherry. The wine displays line length and structural integrity. Savoury dark cherry notes alongside violet florals introduce the wine, this move into a linear elegant mid palate, out of which rise fine elegant textural tannins. Cherry notes frame the finish. Mt Difficulty Bannockburn Pinot Noir will improve for 10-15 years given optimal vintage and cellaring conditions. Reviews\”Aromatic, thyme and fennel, kiss of vanilla oak, red fruits. Medium bodied, brick dust tannin, some mineral profile to the acidity, dried flower and perfume in the finish, with firm tannin to close. Classy.\”94 Points – Gary Walsh, The Wine Front, June 2018, Drink: 2020 – 2030
