This parcel is known for its muscular structure and darker fruit profile, and in 2024 it delivered even greater intensity. Organically and biodynamically farmed, with no fining or filtration, the result is a wine that speaks clearly of origin, built to evolve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"625\" data-end=\"1009\"\u003eVinified with 25 percent whole bunch and aged in 20 percent new French oak, the wine leads with dark cherry, leather and cacao overlaid with herbal spice. The tannins are integrated yet assertive, anchoring the depth of fruit and driving a long, seamless finish. The 2024 vintage’s slow, cool ripening preserved freshness, bringing focus and restraint to a wine with serious presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1011\" data-end=\"1127\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1011\" data-end=\"1028\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1028\" data-end=\"1031\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1031\" data-end=\"1039\"\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1039\" data-end=\"1042\"\u003e– Spice, earth, fruit\u003cbr data-start=\"1063\" data-end=\"1066\"\u003eDark cherry, mocha, dried herbs and a subtle leathery warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1129\" data-end=\"1241\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1129\" data-end=\"1139\"\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1139\" data-end=\"1142\"\u003e– Deep and brooding\u003cbr data-start=\"1161\" data-end=\"1164\"\u003eCascading dark fruit framed by structured tannins and complex savoury detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1243\" data-end=\"1341\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1243\" data-end=\"1253\"\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1253\" data-end=\"1256\"\u003e– Long and composed\u003cbr data-start=\"1275\" data-end=\"1278\"\u003eSustained and textural with lingering notes of cacao and spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1343\" data-end=\"1540\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1343\" data-end=\"1361\"\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1361\" data-end=\"1364\"\u003eStyle - Red Wine\u003cbr data-start=\"1380\" data-end=\"1383\"\u003eVarietal - Pinot Noir\u003cbr data-start=\"1404\" data-end=\"1407\"\u003eCountry - New Zealand\u003cbr data-start=\"1428\" data-end=\"1431\"\u003eRegion - Central Otago, Bannockburn\u003cbr data-start=\"1466\" data-end=\"1469\"\u003eVintage - 2024\u003cbr data-start=\"1483\" data-end=\"1486\"\u003eBottle Size - 750ml\u003cbr data-start=\"1505\" data-end=\"1508\"\u003eABV - 13.9%\u003cbr data-start=\"1519\" data-end=\"1522\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1542\" data-end=\"1565\"\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1565\" data-end=\"1568\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"1568\" data-end=\"2060\"\u003eMy first taste revealed a wine of great intensity and flavours that suggested cacao nibs, mocha, dark cherry, cassis, black-fleshed plum in centre-stage with an undercurrent of assorted spices, and floral\/deep red rose petals flavours. An heroic pinot noir that, while carrying the Block 3 signature, has greater structure than usual. I put it to the test by tasting the wine over three days. While deliciously accessible when first opened it retained its appeal until the end of day three.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2060\" data-end=\"2063\"\u003eBob Campbell MW, 97 Points, 2024\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Felton Road","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42027956109399,"sku":"FRB3PN-24","price":149.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/91eb0582-8ef2-4c63-a94d-b2cad7603713.png?v=1760330120","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/felton-road-block-3-pinot-noir-2024","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
