    September 2, 2021 - Lots of nervous energy on the palate and not quite giving up allot of fruit. Have to wonder if its fading or just settling in for the long haul. The latter methinks.

    November 28, 2017 - Medium crimson in color with slight cloudiness, this wine reveals wet moss, Asian spices, cherry pit and tart cranberry on the nose. The mouth feel is lighter in feel and texture and brings added elements of forest floor., wet leaves and hints of cola The finish is longer in length with the tart cranberry and cherry coming out strong.14.1% abv.

    Purchased for $40US, this is a very open at this time and really delicious. Once opened, it was hard to put down.

    February 10, 2016 - This is a tremendous QPR wine at about $30. It easily goes not against the $80-100 PN from Europe. Very floral nose with plenty of wet moss, the mossiest PN I've had in several years. In the mouth it has perfect balance of bright tart fruits, earthy tones, and dried spices. My only caution to stocking up on this wine is the tannin structure may be a bit weak. I think it will develop for the next 2-3 years and decline rapidly. I would pick up another 6 at $25 but wouldn't buy more than that.

    October 23, 2014 - The more flowery and open of the Ghostwriter set this year. More flush on the mid palate too but not neccessiarly the greater of the set.
