Like a great, concentrated syrah from the Rhône, meaty and smoky and delicious. PNP works fine, was ready to go. 2011 was a great vintage and this shows it with plentiful fruit and elegance. Mouth filling, great finish. I'll revisit the 2nd half on day 2 with lamb.

Solid wine, I agree in with others in its window. Nice nose of cherry and blackberry, also a bit leafy Pleasant acid. Wonderful balanced palate. Great foil for salmon and goat Manchego. Mebbe a 91 as dinner goes on.
