This is very nice example of PN with very expressive nose, followed by full profile in the mouth, which is supported by nice acidity and underpinned by nice lingering finish. Very good PN from hot 2009 vintage, which to me proved to be better than 2011 (also very hot vintage). For comparison check tasting notes from November 2012, where you can find the pics of the bottle.
