Felton Road’s Block 5 Pinot Noir offers a profile of focused elegance and linearity, distinguished by a longer maturation period of 16-17 months in oak compared with Block 3. The 2016 vintage, from the warmer, more protected sites of the Elms vineyard, presents a wonderfully perfumed nose dominated by red-berry fruit and fine spice notes. On the palate, the fruit is concentrated and seamlessly supported by firm, underlying tannins, resulting in a finely structured and graceful wine that benefits from the extended growing season and promises excellent longevity.

Pale ruby-garnet. Brown paper and clove oak. Dried blackberry and tobacco development, with thyme and spice notes, plus some grilled bacon fat. Supple and pure palate, with a fine balance of acidity, fine tannins and rich fruit. Integral and supple, even at a ripe 14%. (TJ)
