Clean cut and lively, low fruited, maybe needing some time to come around? But its also four years in. Na, lean vintage, give it more time. Also, just opened on my end.

This just did not quite do it for me. If anything, it was a little bitter. I can understand the comments from other people, but it just felt a little bitter.

Decanted approximately 2 hours. Still super tight but did improve with air. Shows closed aromas of tart red cherry, cranberry, white pepper, and herbs (stems?) on the nose. Very tart acidity on the palate, with flavors of cherry pit and under ripe raspberry, orange oil, and grape stem. The finish is a touch bitter and disjointed right now but I suspect it's a function of youth. Will need time to come around but that acidity should keep it together for a long time.

I've had relatively few 2011 PN but this has me feeling I should have bought more. The 2011 Crowley is very pale ruby in color, and has a lovely spicy nose, showing red currents and wax. Light and lively on the palate: this is a wine one can pair easily with fish and not just salmon (in fact we had a smoked trout and the pairing was delicious). Good acidity and a long finish.

Soft fruit and minerality. Charming if light spirited. Just opened so quite tight. Maybe it will ease in in time?
