For me this is one of the best PL wines ever drunk. It’s an incredible explosion of rich rip yellow fruit, almond and other nuts, great tones of aging. All the credits to the wine maker and the terroir. WOTN!

Lots of ripe yellow fruit and vanilla from the exstensive oak use, but pretty balanced by a good acidity. Overall kind of big bodied but in a luxurious way.

Was disappointed. Might have been a slightly off bottle or in a weird place because I've had a few bottles of this over the last 2-3 years and remembered really liking it. Too much bitterness, grapefruity flavor. There are redeeming signs on the finish which is long and quite pleasant but the overwhelming feeling of bitter grapefruit when you drink it is really not that pleasant.
