Dark ruby color and bigger in style with ripe black cherry, cola and meat. Very velvety with medium body and a long, delicious finish. Still holding up well after 11 years of age.

This bottle was a pleasant surprise. Even after 10 year of ageing, the fruit is very much alive in this wine. Great aromas of black fruit and a hint of leather. A nice balance of fruit and acid on the tongue with a very long finish of 60+ seconds. Paired very well with a grilled pork loin with apricot sauce. This wines still has at least 5 years of life left.

What a spectacular bottle of wine - a bit of age has only improved on what was an amazing PN. A nose bursting with violets, black cherries, and fig, a luxurious, balanced, delicious mouthfeel. Wow!

Deep red, purple tinge. Muscular, ripe cherry, whiff of cola, lovely brooding spice. Not detailed notes but drinking well now.

Drank with the 08. The 09 still has a bit of time (this year).
