Community Tasting Note

Saturday, June 12, 2021 - Decanted via an aerating funnel and consumed over the course of 90 minutes. Medium garnet color, long legs, cherry and light plum aromas, with cherry and garrigue on the palate. Medium tannin. While not super complex, this is drinking well right now--which is a marked improvement from what I observed a few years ago when I found it tart/harsh/acidic and barely drinkable (which I have observed in several wines from this producer). Today, I'm enjoying a softened profile that drinks well on its own, and pairs nicely with herb roasted chicken. Although one can easily question the investment of seven years of cellar time for a wine at this price point, I'm glad I had the space and time to hold it as this is a nice PN at the $45 release price.

I doubt that it will continue to improve markedly, so I think you should drink now or within ~3-4 years. I sure as heck wouldn't cellar it to 2035 as CT suggests it can handle. While it may be fine and drinkable at that point, it's just not complex enough for that sort of investment in time.
