Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Saturday, September 8, 2018 - 2018 Long Sunday Lunch on the Langhe: I am a big fan of this wine. For me, it competes with the 2012 Block 3 to be the best Central Otago Pinot Noir produced this decade. I served it blind. An exuberant bouquet of a pot-pourri of red and black cherries and berries with lifted florals and spices. A great nose. “Very Fourrier-like”, observed Michaela. On palate, Jeffrey noted “cherries and watermelon”, with someone saying it was “candied, but in a good way”. Jeffrey also mentioned the “good substance and length” and the “super balance” of this Felton Road. Delicious and impressive now, it’ll develop more nuance and complexity with another 5+ years.
