PnD. Deep maroon in color. Med slow legs. Rich nose of super ripe cherries and a touch of oak. Highly extracted. Cedar and red fruit. Not fruit forward, probably due to age, but still very enjoyable. Fully resolved tannins. Long finish. Bottled unfined/unfiltered but little to no sediment.
Enjoyed in a Riedel Vinum Bordeaux glass at 62 F.

PnD for 3 hrs.. Deep maroon in color. Ripe cherries in the nose with secondary notes of spice, orange peel, and vanilla. Rich and dense flavors of ripe cherries and berries on the palate but not cloying. Fully resolved tannins and a nice long finish. Very nice. Be sure to serve at about 55F as 65F made it quite fat and heavy.
Enjoyed in a Riedel Vinum Chianti Classico glass at 55F.

PnP. Deep salmon in color. Deep nose of ripe strawberries and tuberose. Rich texture with good finishing acidity. Makes you want to take another sip. Paired really well with our pan-seared cod.
Enjoyed in a Riddle Vinum Chianti Classico glass at 50F.
