Plenty going on here and strongly so at that. Darker red fruit with balanced firm tannins. In a nice place now and will be for quite some time. Wish I had more.

Still plenty going on. Took a good 20-30 minutes to open up then nicely balanced and well rounded. Not profoundly complex but very good and quite enjoyably.

On opening the wine was tannic with little fruit. Thirty minutes later it opened. Classic PN fruit, wonderfully balanced. Great with salmon dinner and chocolate souffle. I think any you have should be great for another year or two. I, however, am out. Sigh.

Delicious 2008. Fruit in balance and very tasty. Went well with a meatloaf and asparagus dinner. I agree that it is not a long term keeper. Tannin is sufficient but nothing more now. The very forward fruit of the 2008 vintage is also muted, but that improves this wine.

Very similar to my last comment. Good wine with considerable potential. Too bad I am almost out.
