Pinot Noir Doctors Flat, Bannockburn, Wild Irishman 2023

Fresh, pure and linear with lovely red cherry fruit. Supple and fine but with good structure and acidity. Quite beautiful.

Good balance and some richness with, still, a little chewiness on the end. Very appetising. Drink 2026-2035.

Violets and purple fruit soar off the nose with elegance. The energetic, perfumed palate has a crushed velvet texture to display the plush fruit. Other than a hint of smoky, meaty reduction, everything here flows with lovely tension and definition in an almost Vosne-like way. Brilliantly made and displaying elegant power, it's approachable now but will improve significantly in the mid- to long-term
