Laura Barnes Pinot Noir always delivers an arresting aromatic spiciness. In 2025, it comes embedded in a deep complex array of flavours that bring lively cranberry, black cherry and damson plum together with, liquorice, earth, dried herbs and high spice. Spices injected throughout the length of the wine ride on a train of chalky tannin. The introduction of blueberry notes, violet and a touch of rosehip florals extend the range of the wine together with integrated oak. There is life and energy here, and the finish – on a bright high note – is sustained and full of verve. Should age a beaut.
