The bottle looks horrible, but the content is stunning! One of the best PG I had this year, fantastic bottle maturity is making the nose very expressive of dry fruits. Taste is perfect balance between the acidity, residual sugar and proper aging. It is interesting to compared it to tasting of the previous vintage in August 2011 here. Why would I buy this horroble bottle? It was winner of blind test of PG in 2008 in MFDNES so I wanted to try it:)
