  Finally got to this wine, and well, it's delicious!
  Somewhat Burgundian, but with much more forward "dried fruit" , way higher alcohol and but something special in the entry and exit!
  This wine sits on my tongue, for minutes upon minutes!
  
  Pale med Ruby - no garnet yet!
  Usual PN berry nose and palate. My CT brethren have described it well enough already.
  
  Blue and red berries.
  Earth , black garden soil
  Cedar in bunches!!
  Pipe tobacco sweet
  
  Body medium
  Alcohol high
  Acid med high
  Viscosity- fully enveloped mouthfeel
  Finish- long 60s + ,(wow! Getting better as it opens!)
  
  This is a fabulous wine if which I'm uncertain is getting better, but it's not near the end of it's drinking window.
  
  That said, I'm not sure there's a reason to wait until it's past it's present stage, unless one wants to experiment.
  It's 16 years old... Let's venture, say 20-25 max? So that's,
  Maybe... Maybe not?
  
  I'll definitely buy more... Just a new vintage
  Awesome!
  
  Addendum - 24 hours later.... left a glass overnight with cork in bottle and inside kitchen fridge. And that forward fruit was heightened. This is not an appealing character of this wine. But, I think it's the only one.
  (With porterhouse)
  
  PN 100%
  14.9 abv
  
  PS - Drink The Rainbow!

  Cork was dry and there was a discussion if it had turned . Some loved, some didn’t .

  Similar tasting notes to previous bottle, but lacking a bit of verve.

  Delicious ripe dark fruit with earthy and floral notes on a silky smooth palate, open nose, and long finish. Continues to age beautifully!
