Very bright, balanced, open-knit and forward. Initially reductive but airing out nicely. There is very good acidity and a taut but generous core of raspberry and rhubarb that lifts the mid palate.

Today I killed a baby. Rudi's wines are built for the long haul. This has beautiful concentration of raspberry and blackberry fruit with tremendous mineral definition highlighted by earthy depth, but the acidity need some serious time to integrate. If you have any bottles sit on them for at least a few years. I won't open another for 5-8.

I was surprised how much I liked this, as I tend to like a lighter style of PN. This was just well fleshed out. Checks off all the boxes. I'd be interested to see some older examples.

Deep purple ruby, red cherry, black fruits and spicy aroma.Concentrated but not sweet fruitfulness. Dry, mid + vibrant acidity. Serious, and need much more time to enjoy silky texture and its elegance. Old world style w new world fruitfulness and high volume.
