Notes de dégustation: un classique Block 5. Plus ample que le Block 3 mais sans lourdeurs sur les fruits noirs, la cerise noire en particulier. C’est harmonieux, voluptueux mais la trame tannique est là pour soutenir l’ensemble qui est déjà cohérent. Un pinot noir avec la gourmandise du pinot de Nouvelle- Zélande.

VIN : FELTON ROAD BLOCK 5 PINOT NOIR 2016 |
Pale to medium ruby-purple colored, the 2015 Block 5 Pinot Noir is youthfully reticent, offering delicate earth and floral notes over a core of red berries and pomegranate, plus a waft of garrigue. Light to medium-bodied, it has a fine backbone of satiny textured tannins and just enough acid to carry the perfumed fruit to a good, long finish. Give it another couple of years in bottle to see it really strut its stuff. Robert Parker. The Wine Advocate.92+/100.
