Of the two 'Block' wines, it's the Block 3 that holds its gaze the longest with its wild eyes. 25% whole clusters in play here with their characteristic amaro-esque shading and textural sway. It's all plums and cherries, cut with spice, lap cheong, soy, pomegranate, mountain herbs, citrus blossom, grapefruit pith and earth. Supple, wonderfully complex and pure with terrific length of flavour, powdered, schisty tannins and mineral-laden cadence, finishing juicy and vital. Just lovely. -97pts, Dave Brookes for Halliday Wine Companion

Complex and aromatic with flowers, strawberries, salt and perfume. Medium-bodied with very fine velvety tannins that give great length and presence. Very long and intense. Old vines planted in 1992. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Impressive to drink now but will age so beautifully. Screw cap. -97pts, James Suckling

Concentrated, powerful pinot noir with a medley of dark, strong cherry/berry fruits that almost mask a subtler suggestion of floral and fresh herb characters. A moderately assertive backbone of fine, peppery oak and fruit tannins suggests good cellaring potential although the wine is certainly accessible now. Drink 2023–2033.– 97pts, Bob Campbell MW
