  This was top notch last night, no decant, colour showing some bricking, opened up over the evening initially more savoury with black fruits & later more towards sweeter red, some of the elusive mushroom’s earthiness. Delicious & based on this they need 10 years minimum

  Drinking beautifully, punchy acidity on opening which integrates nicely after a couple of hours in the decanter. Compared to a year ago some tertiary notes of smoke and mushrooms starting to come through.

  The 2010 Felton Road Cornish Pinot was a step up compared to the Australian Pinot Noir from Curley Flat. Earthy mixed cherry, supple whole cluster scents of roses, and hints of mocha. This is not your stereotype New World fruits bomb Pinot, but a well-made and integrated Pinot that can easily be mistaken as a Burgundy (Gevrey?) Village weight with good length. (87/100)

  Nose: The nose is perfumed and feminine, filled with red cherries, strawberries, raspberries, spice tones, rose petals, violets, herbs, licorice, and currants. There is excellent depth and class with a good amount of layering.
  
  Taste: Medium bodied with medium high acidity and medium tannins. The acidity has some excellent crispness to it with the tannins showing good integration. The feel is polished and balanced with red cherries, raspberries, spice tones, rose petals, licorice, and currants.
  
  Overall: This is utterly gorgeous right now. There is a lot of life left in it though it is drinking beautifully at this time. The structure is well integrated and balanced with the fruit showing a tartness to it that is extremely enjoyable.
