July 22, 2022 - Lovely mature PN on the nose, with ripe raspberries and other berries. A bit tired and over the top, maybe. No tannins left.

November 10, 2017 - Light, developed and a bit sweet PN aromas. Mature, soft and delicate fruit on the palate. Rather tired, however, which could be due to the decanting three hours in advance.

February 5, 2017 - Wow! A vast improvement from my last bottle. Very earthy, dark cherry fruit core coated with autumn leaves, anise and strong stony notes. Serious and still quite firm on the palate, but the structure has mellowed and the fruit is much more present this time around, showing impressive complexity and length, with a markedly rustic finish. I think this can still go further.
