Felton Road Central Otago Cornish Point Pinot Noir 2021
- Low stock - 2 items left
The 16th rendition of Cornish Point Pinot Noir from Felton Road is a masterclass in complexity and maturity. This Central Otago gem blends vibrant fruit with a voluptuous mouthfeel and sophisticated tannins, leading to a powerful crescendo finish. With a reserved nose of dark fruit and herbs, it unfolds on the palate with rich raspberry and floral notes, underpinned by a silky minerality.
96/100 - Distant wood smoke, a flicker of nettle and lovely, tart blackberry fruit make for an aromatic nose. The palate comes in with exquisite freshness and a firm structure. Typically for Cornish Point, aromatic high jinks highlight the lovely juiciness. The finish comes with an echo of smoke and apple pip. Totally mouth-watering. This spent 13 months in 25% new French oak. - Anne Krebiehl MW, Decanter
96/100 - A very energetic pinot with a fine line of tannins running through with a powdery texture. Medium-bodied and very compacted with beautiful berry, strawberry and extremely long. Subtle complexity with salted caramel undertones. Drink or hold. - James Suckling
93+/100 - The 2021 Cornish Point Pinot Noir leads with poached strawberries, pink peppercorns, sweet roasted meats and black tea, with a hint of sarsaparilla around the finish. In the mouth, the wine is succulent and fresh. The intensity of savory characters introduced by the aromas serves only to feather the edges of the core of fruit in the mouth, while the tannins wrap right around it. Ductile and pliable. Lovely wine. Impressive. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. - Erin Larkin, Wine Advocate
93/100 - The 2021 Pinot Noir Cornish Point holds itself like a ballerina, poised and tall although this ballerina has more flesh on its bones than you'd see at the royal ballet. It has a curved mid-palate but stays light on its feet, tip-toeing through the mouth. Herbal flavors sit alongside the red rather than black cherry fruit, dark chocolate and coffee grounds. The conclusion is fresh and finely textured. - Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous
