December 13, 2020 - As it ages in our cellar with perfect temperature. It has developed its potential complexity. Forest floor and freshly cut flowers underlying layers. Dark fruit with exotic species, floral aspects . Medium and long finish lingering on the palate. Very seductive. Paring with Patagonia prawn 🦐 pasta

May 21, 2018 - Context is important. This was a sound wine but suffered enormously when placed beside Burgundian Pinot. There just appeared to be no subtlety to this. Upfront, jammy, pruney aromas. Advanced, heading into that anonymous aged dry red spectrum of aromas. Looks incredibly porty and fat on the palate too, all cassis and jam and milky density. Hardly resembles a Pinot. Maybe represents its place, for which I admit there is some integrity. But it almost looks like a caricature of New-world pinot when standing next to great Burgundy. I didn't really get it personally.

March 22, 2016 - Leveling the Lands - Blind: Cola, stalk, cherry, some herb and medicinal notes. Has some good grip on the palate that counters the sweeter fruit element. Thought this was probably Felton Road and was right. Has good length. Will drink well over the next 4-5 years for sure.

June 11, 2013 - Deep fruit, minerals and the very typical forest floor combined with earthy minerals. Violets emerge after a while combined with orange zest and fresh cherry. The palate is vibrant and provides a close to profound experience. This as many other Felton wines are driven by elegance and a nice acidity. (Score is 93+)
