Very light garnet, dark rosé with an equally light nose. Lighter, well aged and subdued body. Similar to my first PN I made in the 80's after several years making cabs and was disappointed when they were not more bold fruited. Live and learn, would be interested in how they would compare to the PNs I like to drink these days in a much more restrained style.

Bob should be grinning from ear to ear on this one. Fruit hits you on the git go. Nicely balanced and a pleasure to drink. Never had this one before and just a few '07s from Or. Last glass tonight and after 4 nights open has lost nothing and is really luscious, picking up a bit of lemon cane tannins on the finish which adds to some complexity. Fruit has morphed out of the house, being replaced by tertiary notes.

PNP. Light magenta, slight bricking. Needed an hour to blow off. Lovely nose of pomegranate. Lovely red fruit, more pomegranate, strawberry, cranberry. Still young at 13 years, nice earthy brambly elements complement. Great QPR.

PnP and first impression was not good. Threw it back into the cooler and forgot about it. Tried again 3 weeks later and the nose opened up to some nice sweet red fruit. Palate had spice, cherries and this touch of fresh fig that threw me off. Acid and structure still present and almost fully integrated. Time or air is your friend here. Nice QPR
