Saturday, April 26, 2014 - Brownbag in Göteborg by Finewines.se (Göteborgs Vinkällare): This padawan took some time to come out of the closet. Of the three Felton Roads tonight, this was the one I liked the best after a dogfight between this one and the Block 3.
Intense, pure, red berry wine with a refined PN nose and palate incl that twang of bitterness. Well kept and built wine. Beautifully and delicately crafted. Should be kept for some years to allow it to bloom, but it's just such a great wine as it is today.

Great wines. Thankyou for your generosity. Really looking forward to seeing you soon.
