Pop 'n' pour. Still a little tight. Bright cherry fruit quickly overcome by the barrel tannin, but fortunately that faded quickly, too. Unfortunately, that meant a very short finish. Lots of potential, I think, just need to let the next bottle(s) sit a bit before drinking.
11/20/2020 Didn't decant, but let it sit for an hour. No real hint of the tightness I noted last time. Cherry fruit and brightness throughout. Not particularly complex and short finish, but what's there is nice.
2/14/2021 My observations match the previous bottle more than the first one. Nice red fruit characteristics and good acidic balance. Just wish the finish was a little longer.

What a lovely bottle of PN. None of the cherry cola I find annoying. None of the RS I find cloying. Nose of spice and flowers (lavender). Nice acid gives the mouth some zip. Light to medium body.... just wish the finish was longer.

Tasty ripe red cherry and raspberry notes on the nose and palate with a silky texture and moderate finish. Drinking well!
