Rather dark for PN, no signs of age. Slightly damp cellar, beet and rust on the nose, no fruit at all. Medium+ body. Very spicy initially, but softened later. There were some interesting leafy notes on the palate, but overall I couldn't find it balanced with some sweetness (too much for my taste), bitterness, but not enough accidity. Spicy finish and rather long burnt wood aftertaste.
