Very "French-inspired" and borderline lean for me.
Should benefit from a few more years in the cellar but I lack stuffing to really bring it into The Big League.

Aug 9th, 2016Very pretty PN with incense and cherry intermingling on the nose. I could sniff this for hours. Seamless balance of lovely fruit, spice, and acidity. Nice lengthy finish. Really in a perfect spot right now. Not sure it will improve from here.
