This is widely regarded as one of New Zealand's greatest wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMy Wine Man on Felton Road Block 5\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eFelton Road is the benchmark Central Otago producer — biodynamically farmed, minimally interventionist, and completely committed to expressing the specific character of each block on their Bannockburn estate. Block 5 is the jewel in the crown: a specific parcel of biodynamically farmed vines that consistently produces Pinot Noir of extraordinary depth, transparency, and elegance. In my view, this is the finest Central Otago Pinot Noir available in the store — a wine that belongs in the same conversation as the greatest Pinot Noirs in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003ePolished leather and dark rose dominate the nose, with dark cherry, plum, and earthy complexity building behind. The palate is focused and elegant with seamlessly integrated power and refined fruit that speaks directly to the noble Block 5 site. The defining feature is the finish — peppered with powdery tannins that define the structure and linger with extraordinary persistence. Focused, elegant, and utterly compelling. \u003cstrong\u003e97–99pts Wine Advocate \/ James Suckling.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle \u0026amp; Drinking Window\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMedium-bodied with powdery tannins and fresh acidity providing focus, elegance, and an extraordinarily long, structured finish.
