  This is a very young wine and will improve considerably with 3 to 5 years of more time. My guess is it will score at least 95 points and higher with time

  Dark ruby in the glass. Interesting nose with mushrooms, dried fruit, cherries. Medium acidity, lots of cherries and some bramble, black currants. Medium tannins already quite resolved, with some spice, dark chocolate, and slight bitterness reminiscent of unripe Olives; and a moderately oaky ending.
  This is a very nice wine - elegant, sinuous, fruit-forward and bold but in check. Mostly primary still, and as this was my first Peter Michael I am not sure how this will evolve; it seems a bit muted, although after 2 hours in the decanted it did start opening up.
  Very enjoyable by itself, I had it with beef tenderloin and it was a great match. 92 today, 94-95 potential. Will wait 2-3 years to open my second bottle.

  Opened for 1 hour.
  The nose on this from the jump is amazing. Big fruit, but nice mix of chocolate, fig, and black olive. The color is a bit lighter than normal, but light ruby colored. Decided to decant after first tasting, as it seemed a bit tight. Wine seems to be in a little awkward phase, some diet soda flavors which I am never a big fan of that flavor. Nose is great with typical iodine from Les pavot, but flavors not as sharp as I usually like for Pavot. Still a nice wine, just not as gripping as I expected. Hint of raspberry, cherry cola, chocolate. Good wine, but not in a great spot IMO. Give it 5 years to transition.

  2 hour decant. Bright, with cranberry, açaí, tangerine peel, tobacco leaf, herbs, and raspberry seed coating the mouth and lingering for a long finish. Drink or hold.
