2011. It still has time. A little green on the nose but sensational on the palate — 5 years ago

Pinot noir tasting: great drop! Pungent fruit, strawberry, raspberry, blueberries. Earthiness and vanilla in the palate. Great length. Genial — 6 years ago

Best of both worlds. Violets, cherries, dust light leather. Boozy! 14% I believe. Lies off after about 30-40. Super delicious and different. — 11 years ago

Our friend Kelly brought this back from her trip to Oz and it doesn’t disappoint. Small production NZ Pinot with depth but not too much fruit so the top end finishes beautifully. Lots of tobacco and anise without being overbearing and one dimensional. I like the huckleberry side notes and enough earth tone to match up with some of the top Oregon Pinot that stays in the more traditional Burgundian style. — 6 years ago

Very surprised when I opened the wine list. My inner geek took over when I saw it was the same wine I consumed last week but a different vintage. A much less open and complex nose than the’11.
In the mouth this wine demonstrated greater freshness than the ‘11. Grapefruit like acidity put the fruit flavors at the forefront. Once again I was a little disappointed with the finish but I think in this case the wine truly needs time to unwind. — 6 years ago

Cherry, raspberry, strawberry, some mushroom and earthy notes on the nose. Tart red fruits, a bit of earth and spice on the palate. A pretty Pinot! — 6 years ago

I really like this Pinot. Earthy-Terrific balance of spice, smoke and raspberry - but my balance favors smoke! $16 at Costco... I would pay twice. — 7 years ago

On the label it says Vat 18, never heard of it before, it must be a selection. At peak anyway, lanolin, honey little toasty, fruit still there, good freshness. Wine that disappears in no time from the bottle👍 — 9 years ago

First time trying an old Felton Road and a Block 5 courtesy of Can. Forest floor, some black fruits. Great concentration with depth and intensity of flavour. Good length but never felt over-blown or heavy. Shows why this wine is an icon. 94 points — 10 years ago
