Very complex, complete and convincing Bannockburn pinot that delivers a fascinating array of pure red cherries, sappy and spicy complexity and a beautifully arranged palate that has long, fleshy and silky fruit presence. Exceptional pinot. Drink now. Screw cap.
Two Paddocks' 2017 The Fusilier Pinot Noir comes from the estate's warmest vineyard, next to Felton Road in the Bannockburn subregion. It's the most structured and tannic of the offerings, with dark fruit, earthy nuances, a stolid, muscular feel in the mouth and firm (but ripe) tannins on the finish. Hints of hickory smoke join stemmy notes on the nose, while plummy fruit joins with hints of dark chocolate on the palate and lingers on the finish.
