The bottle is awesome too! Fits perfectly in your hand and shaped perfect for decanting! Their signature bottle... The wine is fantastic!

Well balanced with hints of earth and nice acidity. Great with our Italian pappardelle pasta!

I used to love this wine 10 years ago, but I'm less impressed with it now. A cool vintage, it has enough balance in fruit and earth, but could use a touch more acid to go with our food. It did open up more and improve with air though.

Yum. Sweet tart dried red fruits and loads of flowers, mineral, and dried savory herbs with truffles. Persistent and integrated. Singing. #pnv15

In a pretty good place right now. Seamless tannins and nice tomato acids

Dried cherries and strawberry on the nose. Still a little tight on the palette. Needs a few more years
