Note di degustazione
The 2016 Block 5 Pinot Noir offers a Volnay-like bouquet with redcurrant, crushed strawberry, briar and crushed stone aromas, becoming ever more floral in the glass as it opens. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannin. This is silky-smooth in texture and very poised, with a gentle grip towards the saline finish, which is almost brine-like on the aftertaste. Maybe this is not as immediate as the previous vintage, but it is probably more intellectual.

Earthy and floral, the 2016 Block 5 Pinot Noir smells like dusty rose petals sprinkled over a bed of plummy fruit. Cola notes add a savory character on the palate, which is medium to full-bodied but supple and elegant. The finish firms up a bit, so try to keep your hands off it for the next couple of years and then drink it over the next decade.
