Block 3 Central Otago Pinot Noir 2019

Bob McDonald
9.4

Hopefully Delectable will allow me to write a complete note. Here we go ….
Dark Ruby with a crimson rim. Closed on the nose initially. Straight from the bottle - should have decanted it. Rich on the palate. Latent power with much to give. Dark cherry with dried herbs still to come with further cellaring. This is the first of 5 bottles. In the early days Block 3 was the undisputed best Pinot in NZ but now Block 5 is considered along with other contenders from around NZ. Have the next one in a year. Many good judges think this is the best ever Block 3 up to this point. — 6 days ago

@Bob McDonald I have had so many postings fail I have just given up, maybe it’s a regional Australian issue.. I’ve also lost the location selector. Overall so frustrating 😩

I can’t speak to how this platform functions regionally. But at the heart of this issue is Delectable not keeping up with the coding that allows an app to run smoothly. There are numerous functionality issues here. They have known about them for a very long time. Yet, they remain. That speaks to not possessing the funds and or personal to update their coding so the platform running smoothly. They only maintain the coding to the point of it still runs but with bugs. The problems also seem to vary for Apple and Android users.

@Somm David T Thank you for your comments. Sadly yes, it seems that way. Maybe they should pass it on to Claw-code and develop some AI agents to maintain it 🤣🤣

Maybe the best chard I have had, jumps out of the glass, aromatic and on the palate quite smooth and silky but still got enough acidity to balance it out. Honeysuckle, melon and some peaches. Really lovely — 5 days ago

2023 vintage - it opened brighter than expected with bold ripe flavors and more fruit forward than expected. It was a nice surprise. After 30 minutes the flavors balanced a bit and tasted less bright and fruity and more balanced. The wife and I enjoyed the bottle. — 3 months ago

Wow! This is what Rose is supposed be! Bold yet refined. Fruit yet subtle acidity. Lovely salmon color. Strawberries dominate with watermelon and raspberry tones. The best!

Never had a Rose where I could smell the empty glass all night long! — 7 months ago

Needed some time to open up, but was worth it. Silky smooth, lots of presence and subtle earth notes. Really long finish and super smooth once again — 5 days ago

Really smooth. A lot more dark plums, and softer tannins. Earthiness, small amount of spice and looong aftertaste — 5 days ago
