  Has lost some of its vibrant fruit and freshness. Still a core of red fruit but sweeter and more raisin like that my previous 2 bottles due to the age. Whilst enjoyable, for me, this is now past it’s best and needs drinking.

  醒酒一小时，淡宝石红色，闻香明显的肉味、皮革，樱桃果香，辛香料味，入口酸度高，单宁紧致，颗粒细腻如粉，收口甜美，樱桃一类的红果混合着淡淡奶油香气，余味是草莓奶油，淡淡木质香气。前段香气和结构稍弱，没法完全压住酒精感，中后段表现很完整，漂亮的后段香气输出。醒酒两个小时以后，酒体有点散，酒精感变得明显。一支细节精致优雅，但身子骨稍微有点弱的酒，建议开瓶半小时后就尽快饮用。

  NZ Pinot is loved for its fruit driven style and Central Otago does it better than any other region there. Felton Road is internationally renowned as arguably the top Pinot producer in New Zealand. This wine from the Cornish Point vineyard wafts with mushrooms and forest floor aromas. The bright fruit of its youth has been replaced with more savoury and complex flavours - which are very welcome. It can’t be honestly mistaken for a Cote De Nuit burgundy but it is intriguing and interesting in its own style and well worth trying. The Block 3 and Block 5 labels are the pinnacle of the Felton Road Pinot range but this and the Bannockburn editions are almost as good for considerably less. Try them with 5 spice roast duck and the flavour combination will hit all the right notes. 90 points

  The star of the evening unmistakenly NZ bright fruit, the pure hedonism of its youth that was so hard to resisit has gratifyingly now been replaced witn fruity and floral complexity still delicious.

  Red fruit on the nose. Strawberries, cherries on the palate. Medium + acidity giving a lovely freshness. Very precise. Drinking really well.
