June 3, 2023 - Despite the soiled label, importantly, the fill level and cork were in ideal condition.
Bright ruby colored, medium bodied, vibrant expressive black raspberry and plum fruits with sprites of cherry, cinnamon spice, black tea and hints of graphite and what Advocate called 'bay leaf', with a long tangy finish.
I believe it is at near the end of the apex of its drinking window, not likely to improve further with aging, time to enjoy!

April 2, 2023 - Beautiful medium body (13.5%) ruby red wine. Nice nose followed by a melody of plum and cherry fruit. Super pleasant finish.
April 1, 2023 - Clear, light ruby appearance. No evident bricking or signs of age. Aroma shows a little bit of earthy funk, a slightly smoky note and some strawberry. Subdued fruit on the palate with a slight stewed plum taste. Distinct black tea. Finish is medium-long. I wanted more brightness. For me, this bottle may have been past its window.
October 5, 2022 - Took to first condo wine group dinner
My last bottle
Nice medium body wine after short decant
Fruity predictable solid PN at its peak
No for tasting notes as it’s been almost a month
July 11, 2022 - Tight dry cork. Wine lost its opening fruit, such as it was, quickly. No tannin to speak of. Over the hill. I hope just this bottle, but it acted like one that should have been drunk years ago.
July 7, 2022 - Deep dark red wine. Plum and black cherry fruit. The wine did not meet expectations possibly because it had been exposed to changing temperatures in the mountains. Perhaps it should have been given more time to open.
July 6, 2022 - Opened for an hour prior to dinner and poured through a vintorio Dark red fruit on the nose. The palate was dark cherry, red plums, currants and a hint of baked apple. The finish was moderate to long.
June 15, 2022 - Great PN . Decanted for 1 hour and the the wine continued to become more expressive throughout the meal. Cherry, raspberry, & plum. There is still some tannin. Always dependable and always impresses!
