  I had to add this to the database as it must be a new release/wine for the winery. Bottle opened yesterday, sat on the counter just slow oxing. Of all the Calluna bottles I tasted side by side on my counter tonight (2016 CVC and 2016 Estate), the Block 1 is the most wrapped up of them all. Seems darkest of the three, too. Plusher, richer, yet intense too like the Estate. The wine is chewy, the fruit a bit spicy and there is more black fruit in this wine that the other two, for sure. It does have the black cherry, dark cherry component and there is some juiciness to it, yet it's a bit buried under the structure and chewy tannin. My gut tells me this will be better than the Estate, yet darker in tone when it settles down.
