Felton Road Cornish Point Pinot Noir 2023 Magnum

BIODYNAMIC

Hey, Felton Road, and tasting through the three wines, I like this the best.

Strawberry, raspberry, some thyme and herbal perfume, also a bit of a stony/mineral thing, which is nice. It’s plump in red and blue fruit, thyme-laced and fragrant, with a graphite feel to tannin, lots of flavour and soft red fruits to close. It feels balanced and good. An excellent example of Pinot from a marginal region, and the mouthfeel is the best of the trio. 94 points, drink 2024-2031, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front.

The vivacious fruit and spices are present as always, but are perhaps lighter in tone and more exotic. The palate has a savoury tone, which sits surprisingly well with the usual Cornish Point indulgences: luxurious fruit and exotic woods like Sandalwood, even Lebanon Cedar. The tannins are beautifully balanced and integrated, ever present, but never interfering; just contributing to the overall stature. now. Felton Road.
