Well, it took me an extra day to fully enjoy it, also too in order to make vanish the clear sensations of the 2 pinots I drank just yesterday and the day before which were delicious
Unfortunately I keep comparing them
Day 1: Felton Rd was so much fleshier, even a little hot. I know it had to be different, but in the comparison it definitely lacked elegance, harmony and enjoyment. Though it had personality
Day 2:another wine, fully enjoyable, very defined, focus, pleasant. Not hot anymore. Still thousands of kms away from Burgandy, like it should be (but also so apart from others Central Otago pinots)
More than decent after taste

I find it a little light when we think that we are drinking Central Otago, but Felton Rd is so unique. Never overpowering.
I just wonder if I identify their wines more with the region or with their winemaking🧐
Ps this might tell you how wine is a cerebral enjoyment rather than just material 🤔

This was one beautifully constructed Pinot. Bold dark cherries, plumbs and nutmeg on the nose. Had a great carry in the mouth and a really long finish.

10 Felton Pinot : med wt, bright; charry dark fruit nose , good volume ; plump, juicy toasty fruit on entry, slightly confiture mid palate. Tasty but not special.

An elegant, balanced and yet rich Pinot. With a decidedly better nose than most NZ Pinot Noir.
