April 30, 2021 - Deep red, purple tinge. Muscular, ripe cherry, whiff of cola, lovely brooding spice. Not detailed notes but drinking well now.

November 30, 2020 - Dark ruby color and bigger in style with ripe black cherry, cola and meat. Very velvety with medium body and a long, delicious finish. Still holding up well after 11 years of age.

June 1, 2019 - This bottle was a pleasant surprise. Even after 10 year of ageing, the fruit is very much alive in this wine. Great aromas of black fruit and a hint of leather. A nice balance of fruit and acid on the tongue with a very long finish of 60+ seconds. Paired very well with a grilled pork loin with apricot sauce. This wines still has at least 5 years of life left.

July 8, 2018 - What a spectacular bottle of wine - a bit of age has only improved on what was an amazing PN. A nose bursting with violets, black cherries, and fig, a luxurious, balanced, delicious mouthfeel. Wow!
