This is an extremely unique Pinot. A good berry, red cherry nose, but an extremely dry, old, taste. Can't really place it but a delight to drink! — 10 years ago
Very fragrant, balanced, smooth — 10 years ago
Delicious. Drinking perfect right now. — 12 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! — 7 years ago
No oak. What the fuck?! Waxy, oaky (if possible), almost nutty. Sublime. — 8 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 — 11 years ago
I usually don't like pinos but this one is great with a balanced palate and a bit of depth — 12 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

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

Beautiful... One of the best NZ Central Pinot Noirs — 11 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. — 12 years ago
