Vintage Notes Most recent note Highest
2015 5 notes Black and blue core fruit, with asphalt, black currant, tar, and black gravelly soil. Excellent mid-palate weight and a notable push of flavors.… 2014 3 notes Same as previous notes. Not a sin to pop the cork presently, but giving it a couple of years to fill out completely would be most prudent. Ideally… 2013 3 notes Shut down and totally constricted, with practically every identifiable flavor showing nothing beyond being completely linear and narrow. As others… 2012 1 note PnP was an immediate clash between jammy blackberry and a tannic slap in the face. The finish fell apart almost immediately. DECANT!
