November 18, 2021 - medium red color starting to show signs of maturity, punchy cherry fruit on the nose, lovely dark spice and bramble notes as well, on the palate mature fruit with hints of leather and blueberry, cherry, good length, soft and cuddly on the midpalate with time, an attractive wine in a great place.
****, ready to go but time in hand -

June 22, 2021 - Slo-oxed for 30 minutes, and did not open any further during the meal. The wine was a clear medium ruby in the glass. This bottle was all forest floor, cherry and earth - on both the nose, and the medium bodied palate - with the forest floor and earth elements outrunning the cherry/red fruit, as did the acidity. All of this seems to indicate advanced bottle age, some of which may be attributed to potential storage conditions prior to our buying this bottle at retail a couple of years ago. In any case, this bottle was clearly past peak.

June 12, 2021 - Decanted via an aerating funnel and consumed over the course of 90 minutes. Medium garnet color, long legs, cherry and light plum aromas, with cherry and garrigue on the palate. Medium tannin. While not super complex, this is drinking well right now--which is a marked improvement from what I observed a few years ago when I found it tart/harsh/acidic and barely drinkable (which I have observed in several wines from this producer). Today, I'm enjoying a softened profile that drinks well on its own, and pairs nicely with herb roasted chicken. Although one can easily question the investment of seven years of cellar time for a wine at this price point, I'm glad I had the space and time to hold it as this is a nice PN at the $45 release price.
I doubt that it will continue to improve markedly, so I think you should drink now or within ~3-4 years. I sure as heck wouldn't cellar it to 2035 as CT suggests it can handle. While it may be fine and drinkable at that point, it's just not complex enough for that sort of investment in time.
