  Medium-ruby color. Typical PN nose dominated by red fruits. Dark fruits on the palate with minor roles by liquid smoke, tar, and a tight little beam of tobacco. Amazingly smooth texture that feels great in the mouth. Finish has nice length but gained a little bitterness over 90 minutes. Nothing really wrong with this but it's lost some complexity since my last bottle 3 years ago.

  Color is brown-red. Nose is a bit smoky, with blackberry tones.
  Initial taste is a bit tanny, so it has a bit more, maybe a year or more left in it. Then boysenberry, blackberry, a bit of tobacco and spice.
  Quite nice.

  Excellent fruit and balance; medium body; perfect finish; one of the better Ken Wright's I have ever had

  corked beyond any doubt; even i got it immediately (not my bottle). however, a couple of people were already drinking it before i took the host aside and told him. this is always an awkward moment, and i actually think the wine got drunk anyway; but, at least not by me and jane.

  13.5% alcohol. not decanted. raspberry and black cherry, mixed in with a little dirt, this is a very pleasant wine, drinking well. i especially like the finish, which is long and clean.
