Sweet mossy nose

This impressively intense effort is a quality Chablis villages

Taylor's was and is always one of my benchmarks for what a Port should taste and smell like

It is intense but not overpowering

Moderate reduction dominates the nose at present

Felton Road, Block 3 Pinot Noir other_regions_italy Sweet mossy nosePale to medium deep ruby purple in color, the 2011 Block 3 Pinot Noir has earthy, yeasty, baking bread overtones that envelop a core of red plums, mulberries and pomegranate with hints of milk chocolate and tree bark. Medium bodied, it is quite structured in the mouth, with crisp acid, a medium level of grainy tannins and a long, earthy finish. It needs a year or two of aging and will drink to 2020+.
