-- decanted for 1.0 – 1.5 hours before tasting -- -- tasted non-blind over approx. 30 minutes --
Smells young, with notes of rubber, orange oil, and concentrated strawberry Twizzlers. Medium-full bodied. Smooth, oaky, gently tannic. Chocolate-covered cherries. Medium acidity. 14.9% alc. comes through a bit. I believe this will benefit from short to mid term cellaring.

Lives up to the hype about "tasting the vineyard," which is what N&N is about. This one tastes like walking through a blueberry farm. Lots of berries and maybe grapefruit on the nose; blueberry and currant galore on the pallet, but not all that sweet, very balanced; firm tannins, with a savory finish like beets. Delicious, and held up very well to a rich Christmas meal of beef wellington. Can't wait to taste it again in a few years.

PnP at holiday party dinner. Vanilla and clove on the nose, pronounced but not syrupy fruit, touch of mineralogy. Toasty oak, structured with soft tannins. Still young, but this is probably a wine to drink within short term anyway. Very enjoyable and a crowd pleaser, but not singular.. Suggest 60 minute decant if possible.

Very serious wine. Lots of wood, tough tannis, graphite and black fruits.

Pretty tight, first sip was a little too tannic. Improved over time with oxygen. Unsure if it needs more time or should drink now.

Killer wine that I’d drink any day. Only going to get better with time. Powerful structure that lingers, delicious wine from n&n.
