Solid but not special. Not enough elegance.

Perhaps because I am only familiar with the regular P C bottling, but this was a nice surprise. Excellent.

Excellent bouquet of dried orange rind, violets, earth and fruit liqueur. Palette was full with beautiful structure preserved fruit touches of leather. Drinking exceptionally well right now this will be superb in 5-8years.
