Very good PN at the top of the bottle maturity. Fruit already nicely transformed in the canned form with tertiary tones of damp earth and leather arising. The nose is amazing, the taste slightly lags in the complexity and especially in the mid profile, but very nicely drinkable PN for very good price on sale.
Not surprised this is a good one!
