Dense and almost a little chewy. Had not experienced with this with a PN before. But still very good flavors and textures. Could be a year or two past its prime?

Still hanging in there after 18 years. Not much complexity, but very drinkable, after 2-hour decant. Much more dense than I expected. Looked like a Petite Syrah in the glass. Yet minimal sediment in the bottle?

Lacks balance and devoid of finesse.

Thin, much less fruit than expected for a GSM.
Might be past its prime, but I suspect that it simply wasn't that good to begin with.

Deep, dark color. Surprisingly weak bouquet initially, but developed more nose after being open for two hours. Robust dark fruit flavors. Slightly chewy. Leather and road tar background. Would definitely buy it again if I find it at a reasonable price.

Seems a bit past its peak. Bouquet mildly interesting, but nothing special in the mouth.
The wine looks crimson colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like alcohol/hot. It tastes like clove and alcohol/hot. The body is light. The wine has angular texture. The wine finishes short. The wine has medium acidity.
