Note di degustazione
The 2021 Block 5 Pinot Noir is seductively floral, with a powerful undertow of fruit and tannin on the palate. The wine isn't in possession of the same cool-vintage nettles/chamomile/white flowers that abounds in the 2020 tasted alongside, yet here there is a cool succulence that is undeniably attractive. It's amazing how these wines evolve and change over the years. This is, like the other vintages of the Block 5 Pinot Noir, driven by a powerful thrust of tannic horsepower. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Block 5 oozes class with its coating of rich fruit that sways its way across the palate. It's not a robust style, but there's masses of fine Pinot tannins that quietly melt around your cheeks. It's rather easy to like in youth, which is surprising. It doesn't even seem to need to take a breath and relax. And yet, it's all here for the long term with its great length, quiet structure and complex fragrances that fill the mouth.
North-facing silt in the Elms vineyard. Simpler, more direct nose than the Calvert. Then very sweet and round and jewelly. Masses of sweet pleasure. Already broachable but underlying acidity and fine tannin suggests ageability. (JR)
