Friday, January 13, 2023 - Most of this was drunk without dinner, fwiw. On opening, this seemed like a very Cabernised PN--obvious oak; dark, opaque purple; lots of extraction. I wasn't sure I was going to like it as wine, never mind PN. But it changed over time. Didi it ever become a haunting, aromatic, exotic and floral wonder? I've decided that only Nebbiolo consistently fills that role. (Sorry, but I've had plenty of Burgundy that was over-oaked, tricked up, or insipid, so this is not just a Cali thing.) But this became more like a PN, a more aromatic, floral (violets) and less bombastic wine. By the end of the bottle, both my wife and I agreed it was an enjoyable wine, and an interesting take on the grape. But not our favorite.
