May 19, 2015 - in a word, confusing
PNP...prevalent wine diamonds (tartrates) on cork...dark ruby in color with medium clarity...ripe black cherry, mocha, tobacco leaf and with undertones of lead pencil shavings and herbs on nose...very ripe, palate staining and chewy black fruit on entry with tannins that breakthrough through the saturated and highly extracted fruit...nose and palate have elements of a decadent new world pinot, which i guess isn't suprising given Bryan's focus...interesting wine that seems like a barrell of pinot met a barrell of syrah, and as such, seems out of balance even for a new world central coast cab...definitely improved 1+ hour after opening
became flat and flabby after 1 day1 person found this helpful 2,782 views
