- Fast forming legs - Not a big fruity Napa cab as you might expect, but I love the balance and earthiness. Its got a spice like cinnamon w/ even a bit of heat. I know that sounds undesirable but locks in w/ Jamon and rest of the board. Vanilla is present and a bit of cherry. I know its close to time on this but hanging on in the cellar conditions.

P&P Initial nose was just lovely, big round red and dark fruit aromas, and a hint of nuttiness. First sip, hmmmm, not the same as the smell. Very bright, red, wild fruit flavor. Acidity to the max, and that rustic berry fruit flavor with no underpinning darker fruit (or anything). Possible VA happening here. Things did calm down, it was enjoyable, but a bit unfocussed. Not the big rich wine I imagined, perhaps time to drink up!

Always loved the concept. In a sense it reminds me of a very good, but sanitized take on the entire valley. Black and Blue fruit. Good finish. Solid. Broad. Not too complex, but has a very approachable character.

Nice Bordeaux earth to start, easy drinking fruit and moderately long finish. Very pleasant.
