Ruby-purple quite dark for PN; prominent wetstone minerality over red ripe fruit and only a touch of oak (hint of white flowers); the high-alcohol high-acid body only produces a front-palate mouth-feel and a back of the throat burn with poor fruit and tight tannins. Wonder if some cellaring might correct this but I doubt it.
