Felton Road`s Block 3 Pinot Noir from Central Otago`s Elms vineyard is known for its extroverted, weighty character compared to its sibling Block 5, deriving from its location on heavier wind-blown loess over schist. The 2016 release, having spent 13-14 months in barrel, exhibits a fuller body and a bolder aromatic spectrum, featuring crushed herbs, spice and deeper mocha/chocolate notes interwoven with concentrated red berry fruit. The structure is built upon impressive breadth and well-knit tannins, requiring air or cellar time to fully unravel its complex, earthen intensity.
