PnP. Tremendous nose! Rhubarb, dark cherries, black berries, slight alcohol tint as it’s 14.9%. Crazy that at 12 years it tastes like it’s only has 4 years of age on it. Chewy tannins, chocolate undertones, slight baking spice. I personally prefer a bit more red fruit & less chocolate but this is still good. Hoping more fruit comes through over the next hour or so! Bought for $60 on Wine Spies…probably wouldn’t spend that much again.

Love SMV. This was a bit past due but still very enjoyable. Bordeaux like in the earthy undertones & aged fruit.

PnP…needs more time IMO. Lots of bing cherry that needs to settle down. Definitely decent & let sit for an hour before consuming.
