Bindi Block Five Pinot Noir 2016

Diam cork closure. The Block 5 vineyard is about half a hectare in size on a sheltered, north facing, and quartz riddled site. The wine is always darker in fruit expression and immediately more spicy and earthy that the Original Vineyard. It is also more concentrated with more tannin and fruit power. The wines from this vineyard require more bottle ageing to develop the same suppleness and delicacy as the Original Vineyard but even in their youth are deeper and more profound. Block 5 spends 15-17 months in French barrels of which about 35% are new. Winery Note

'What a wine. From the outset a wine that forces attention. Rich scents, heady, potent, fresh and sweet, something earthy, something stony, some hints of undergrowth and herbs. Such grace in the palate, an inimitable silkiness and yet mineral-slate, earth, herbs, supple fruit. Such a beautiful wine here. Soulful, beautiful, fine.' 96+ Points // Mike Bennie - The Wine Front
