  Well, this is bottle 11 of 12, and I can't wait to get rid of the other...I wonder what their 25th Anniversary tasted like! And I wonder what RP was thinking when he reviewed this so well (IIRC)...Over the past 10 years, this has been nothing but a vapid, fruit-deficient wine. I can count any number of comperable OR PNs that have given greater pleasure. Don't talk to me about "Burgundian..." I 've been there and (IMO) the very worst of the stuff on the east side of the main drag thru the villages (Rte Whatever) is better than this stuff.
  
  I even blended some of this with an (un-named) '05 PN from CA to get some more bang for the buck. Failed.
  
  Oh...and the label proudly claimed it is "organically grown grapes." heh
  
  And the label ALSO sed 12.5%. So I even added some straight vodka to a glass to see what that might do...tasted better(heh).
