Vintage: 2011
Alcohol content: 14.0%
Color: light ruby red
Bouquet: cranberries, plums, wild sour cherries
Taste: medium body, predominantly fruit driven style similar to nose there are wild sour cherries as the major fruit providing the fruitiness accompanied by nice acidity and light spiciness, followed by light tones of sour cherries marmalade, all this supported by slightly younger and lighter tannins, medium to longer finish
Recommended food pairing: duck

Fruit driven PN from very hot vintage, despite the alcohol being quite high it does not stand out. The wine feels quite young at this point and will need some time to settle down. I have one more bottle to check:-)
