Heiner Lobenberg om:
Pinot Noir Block 5 2022

97–98
/100

Først og fremmest: Sikke en fantastisk vin! 75 % afstilket. Forgæring i 8 til 10 dage og 21 til 23 dage på skindet. 16 måneder på fad (35 % ny fransk eg). Ingen klaring, ingen filtrering. Blok 5 er en nordvendt skråning af vinmarken, lidt fladere, i hjertet af Elms Vineyard. Dyrket i 1993. Dyrket ved håndkraft. Vinen viser smuk rød frugt i næsen samt jordagtige og blomsteragtige noter. Måske lidt lavendel og nellike. Også overmodne blommer og røde bær. Og granatæble. Silkebløde tanniner omslutter denne fantastiske Pinot. Sammen med den finesserige syrestruktur sikrer de et afrundet helhedsbillede. Lang eftersmag, som man virkelig kan nyde. 97-98/100

Suckling om: Pinot Noir Block 5

There is an opulence and intensity here yet it remains fresh and vivid with orange peel and ripe strawberry aromas and flavors. Medium to full body with firm and racy tannins that give it tension and focus. Clear and naked in so many ways giving it a clarity that is appreciated. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Better in two or three years. Screw cap. 97/100

Parker om: Pinot Noir Block 5

The 2022 Block 5 Pinot Noir leads with a mineral fresh nose, layered with dried herbs, flowers, cranberry, goji berry, pastrami and white pepper. This is elegant and silky and quietly spoken, and I like the way the wine languidly flows across the palate. It's one of the gentler Block 5s, and today, it's all the greater for it. This is a lovely wine. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

Galloni om: Pinot Noir Block 5

The 2022 Pinot Noir Block 5 doesn't start out as impressive as usual. Compared to the 2021 vintage, it seems less intense and voluminous. Yet it proves to be an athletic, honed Pinot Noir with pure fruit and a real sense of purpose. A taut line of acidity pulses through its core, pushing it towards a firm, long finish. The vintage makes this more restrained. The 2022 has all the essence of the vines without the big shoulders this vineyard can provide. Perhaps not as impressive, but for those who like quieter styles, 2022 provides.

Decanter om: Pinot Noir Block 5

Rose-scented intensity plays on a creamy and fragrant nose. More air brings highlights of redcurrant juiciness. The palate is bright, beautifully dense, with fine, tart red fruit enfolded in a silky web of ever-so-slightly astringent tannins, dusty but so fine. A serene display of pure, tart, red fruit, profound, tender, superbly aromatic and elegant. The finesse of Bannockburn is at its height here, from a clay-rich seam running through this block.
