2002 Felton Road Pinot Noir Block 3

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

94 Points

Sunday, April 5, 2015 - Pinot noir extravaganza (Stockholm, Sweden): I loved this one. First thought it was a 98p wine of pure pedigree, but changed my mind as the sniffing and gargling went on.

Red with clear maturity towards brown.
Nose: Gunpowder extravaganza, very attractive maturity R uS including burnt hair and other wonderful stuff.
Palate: This has some good tannins still, is transparent with raw wood, mineral bits and some vegetabilia. Intense and a real wine on its plateau, where it will remain for some time. In its stride - YAY!

Out of 24 wines, nine tasters gave this wine the evening's highest score of a humble, Swedish: 89.6 points. I agree to the recognition, but would have been happy to see a higher score :-)
