  January 17, 2021 - Garnet fading to ruby/rose at rim. Medium legs. Aromas of red fruits first: cherry, strawberry, faint raspberry. Hints of baking spices, honey. Flavors are similar. Fruit tannins clearly there. By Day 2, most of the flavors and aromas had faded significantly. Although Day 2 added a whiff of horseradish, the first I've detected in PN. On subsequent days, continued fading but fortunately some acid & a bit of cherry persisted, which was a plus. Medium body, flat evolving to flabby. Medium finish for Days 1 & 2, medium minus thereafter. Impression: not quite varietally correct. So understated that complexity is lacking. $20 purchased at tasting room; QPR well below average. A learning experience. Maybe this is the New Mexico terroir? Drink now.
