Community Tasting Note

prasm Likes this wine:

Tuesday, April 23, 2024 - PnP 375 - broken cork, bottom 1/3 pushed into bottle. Appearance: Some cork residue, otherwise clear, deep ruby nearly all the way to the edge with no bricking. Nose: Clean, with developing aromas of cream and dark fruit - blackberry, black raspberry and plum with saddle leather, eucalyptus, and violets - seductive. Palate: Dry, medium acid, medium+ tannin is soft and plush, medium+ body, medium+ intensity, 14.1% abv with developing flavors of blackberry, spice, and tobacco with a long finish.

Balance: Excellent
Length: Excellent-Outstanding
Intensity: Excellent
Length: Outstanding

An excellent-outstanding wine still remarkably youthful at 17 years from a 375. Powerful, yet lean at 14.1% abv, this pretty much has it all. Likely near peak, but this has the stuffing to last 3-5 years yet. Worth every penny of the $50 paid for it back in 2010.
