The 2018 Block 5 Pinot Noir shows its typical dark earthiness and sous-bois notes, black cherry fruit and hints of mocha. It's medium-bodied and plump in the mouth, with plenty of flesh, supple tannins and a long, softly dusty finish tinged with clove, cinnamon and cocoa. RP
Dark cherry and black raspberry lead to more brooding but very concentrated flavours of violet, coffee, cocoa and earthy minerality on the firmly structured and muscular palate. Currently closed and inward but with great length, this is clearly very serious with plenty of substance. BC
