Community Tasting Note

Friday, December 31, 2021 - Another PM wine that’s out of balance and loaded with alcohol. Fruit has recessed a lot since the last bottle I opened. Drank this on NYE with some A5 Japanese wagyu fillet. The wine was tannic and peppery with some oak. Secondary notes coming through ever so slightly, but the wine seemed angular and out of harmony. Sips weren’t that enjoyable and the finish was medium and very dry. We closed it and finished dinner with water. Day of opening - 85 rating.
DAY 2 - came around a lot. Softer, sweeter, and far less alcohol on the nose and palate. Complexity isn’t there though. I think unfortunately more time is needed here. I’ve stopped purchasing from PM because the quality isn’t there for the money (they tend to spend exorbitant amounts on marketing materials and books rather than make good wine now) and you can find bottles on wine searcher for far less than direct purchase price. My dollars have shifted to Realm for CA cabs.
