Block 5 - Pinot Noir
Floral, rose and violet nose. Its potential is somewhat hidden behind its structure. The tannins are smooth and ripe and the acidity is present. The fruit is still in the background, but it will certainly express itself with time. All the elements are present in this wine to make it a great classic from this exceptional vineyard.

Robert Parker 93+ points: "Pale ruby with a hint of purple, the 2014 Block 5 Pinot Noir is a bit closed at this youthful stage with notes of pomegranate, red cherry, raspberry leaf and a touch of underbrush. Slightly full-bodied, it offers red berry notes on the palate, floral flavours, slightly grainy and satiny tannins, finishing with a nice persistence."
