95 Points

Sunday, May 23, 2021 - Significantly better than the bottle we had several months ago. This was a jaw-dropper. Raspberries, wet leaves and damp soil evident immediately on the nose. Raspberry cough drop with light tobacco notes and more turned soil in the mouth. Still retains some tannic prickle but that only serves to complement the minerality. Fresh, focused, and layered but somehow still light on its feet. Best PN I've had in some time. This can go for another half-decade but really no reason to wait. Stood-up beautifully to beef tenderloin with a lemon/thyme compound butter. Bravo!
