Mid Ruby with a tawny rim. A little closed 15 minutes after decanting. Still contained and a little latent at 12 years of age. With air red berry fruits and florals and a touch of pepper. Wonderful palate intensity showing the quality of the fruit - raspberry notes coming through. One of Australia’s best Pinots although I have had better Block 5’s.

Jan 23rd, 2022As per previous notes in 2019 and 2020. The pale colour belies the palate intensity. Red fruits, a confectionery note, rose petals. A good but not a great Block 5. Have the last one in a year or two.

Feb 24th, 2021Medium Ruby in colour. Raspberry and strawberry - taste the minerality. A little bit coarse on the palate still with firm tannins. Very savoury. A little disappointing for a Block 5.

May 27th, 2020Light ruby in colour - translucent in parts. Notes of cherry and toffee. Light to medium bodied palate but excellent intensity showing its pedigree as one of Australia’s better Pinots with time in Decanter. Resolved ultra fine Tannins. A good Block 5 if not a little on the light side.
