  It seems this wine is entering its peaking drinking window. Dark cherry, med acidity, with baking spices. Excellent and wish we would have purchased more! Solid 5-7 years left on this.....

  Yummy and in a great spot. Next to the 2013 Marcassin this really shined. Red fruits with a spice laden bouquet of floral elements and pine resin. Super enjoyable.

  Dark ruby, slightly translucent. Black cherry aromas, not overly pronounced or complex. Full-bodied red and dark fruit flavors, round and tasty, but also not complex. I doubt it will improve further. I preferred 2018 Walter Hansel North Slope, tasted alongside it.

  PnP over an hour. Didn't take many notes. Aromas of leather, sea salt, dark rose petals, and forest floor. Strong dark purple and blue fruits on the palate. Nice level of acidity too. Overall very very good PN, but not enough depth for me, especially compared to the other Occidental PN's I've had.
