PnP, served non-blind. Earthy, with damp mushroom, clove, almond and unripe plum on the nose. Medium-bodied, tasty, tangy and still performing well as a food wine, less so (as expected) on its own. May well last thru 2015, but best to consume earlier than later. An excellent performer, since release and through a whole case. 14,0% abv

PnP, served non-blind. Consistent with last month's bottle, this is fully at peak, if not just past. Either way, it's a great mid-week quaff. Wish I had another case, but doubt I could finish it before the wine had unraveled too much. Glad for the experience. 14,0% abv, drink now thru 2014

PnP, served non-blind. Medium ruby, faded to the rim. Fully mature aromas of strawberry and plum flecked with toffee bits, river bed and vanilla creme; with time in the glass, garrigue and melted red licorice. Medium-bodied, fresh acids, mature flavors that largely follow the nose. Tart entry, slightly earthy; average finish and avg complexity on the palate, but for just $10, I'm very happy - this is a good, solid food wine. 14,0% abv, drink thru 2014. recommended

consistent with last month's bottle, I'm really in love with this wonderful daily drinker. 14,0% abv, it offers up plenty of fruit and lively acids to keep the tension interesting. Terrific food wine. Drink thru 2014

PnP consumed over 3 days. Best served around 62F and observed/enjoyed as it warms in the glass. Very fresh, superb lift, outstanding aromatics and flavors of red currant, smashed raspberries, white pepper, minerals, almonds and fresh herbs. Medium-bodied, round, integrated tannins. Fantastic juice acquired on closeout. If I had it to do over again, I'd have bought 4 cases, not just one. 14,0% abv, drank best on day 1, but above-average on days 2 and 3 as well (kept in fridge, no vacu-vin). Drink thru 2014
