The last, but easily the best bottle of this PN from my cellar. PNP at tasting with friends; pizza and chocolate chip cookies for nibbles. Aromas of boisenberries and blueberries, and delivers the same on the palate. Maybe just a little bit on the jammy side, but offset by sufficient mushroom and minerality to maintain structure. Smooth texture with medium finish. Alcohol listed at 15.1%, but did not come off tasting hot. Drink now; will be past its peak very soon.

Brought to Friday wine club. Black cherries and berries on the nose, mixed with smoke and old growth fir. Aroma promises a bit more than the taste delivers right now. Robust flavors, but group thought it was a bit on the hot side; tannins still sharp. Nice now, but will improve with some more time in the bottle.

No change from prior comments on 5/21/12. Wine tended to dominate the roast pork I served it with.
