2019 Visit to Cromwell (Central Otago, NZ): Whole bunch 23%. A richer bouquet, again red fruited, herby and floral. Fine and silky in the mouth, fleshier but less detailed and interesting than the Block 3. Full bodied, concentrated, with good length. Seemingly lesser acids than some of the other pinots. On the day, it seemed a step behind the “Big 3”.

In a fantastic spot right now.
Fresh floral notes and berries right out of the gate.
Tannins fully integrated - shows a great bouquet of floral notes as well as secondary palate of crushed raspberry and plum.
Nicely done!

No problem with this wine. I like it but it should cost half the price.

Wonderful wine in all ways with the distinct taste of Felton Rd Pinot.

Light red colour, cherries, medium body with silky tannins and great balance. Needs another year. ****(*)
