98/100 55

This is the best Felton Road Pinot Noir I’ve ever tasted. It has great density and power with a complex array of flavours that needs time to fully display. As much as I love the flavour profile of this wine it is the densely silken texture that really impresses. The finish lingers tantalisingly - this is a wine to savour and to quaff. I expected very good, I did not expect devastatingly brilliant.
