December 2, 2018 - Really, really nice PN. Classic mushroom and earth nose. Long finish, starts with cherry and mushroom, then a big hit of tannin (though not harsh) followed by dark fruit. Just enough acid to go well with food but this is a great sipping wine as well. I just need more of it and, alas, this is the last bottle.
Doesn't taste "old" at all; this will be good for a couple more years at least. -

November 28, 2014 - Light crimson in color with some bricking at the edges, this wine shows smoke, red currant, dark cherry and hibiscus on the nose. The mouth feel is medium bodied with cranberry, minerals and bright acidity. The finish is assertive with tart cherry and black tea elements.
Recent purchased for $25US retail, this was an excellent value that drank well above its price point. It paired well with my GF and my leftover Thanksgiving foods. Recommended to drink now - 2017. -
