After deciding to open this one, the next
step is to listen to Oasis tunes until the
next best action seems to be to take a sip.

Shocking!

When can I start drinking?

All in good time…

First sip…

Roses? Where do we go now?

Although “perfume” is an expected PN experience,
I don’t remember ever getting hit with roses.

Maybe like an “immature” version of the classic
Barolo aroma.

But it’s fading. I hear the pitter-patter of
cherry feet. Or should that be clippety-clop?
They’re so BIG.

I’ll TRY to enjoy my onomatopoetic, oenophilic
experience.

A TART cherry milkshake fruit bomb.

Wow.

I think I’m tasting “sweetness”.

OK, let’s go to school. The ALC on this
one is 12.9% which leads me to believe that
IT COULD BE SWEET.

Why don’t they make PORT out of these grapes?

Maybe I’m being silly, but who knows.

Now I’m thirsty for V or LBV port.

As long as we’re having dessert…

I’ll have the special dark chocolate almond nuggets
with that seductive Wonderwall PN.

This one would be perfect for Sangria, so maybe
it would be a good wine to go with a simple fruit plate
and poppy seed dressing (on the fruit).

Now I’m drooling again.

The fruit plate would defuse the wine sweetness.

Moving right along…

I’m tasting smoke/ash/tobacco. I can’t decide which is worse.

Ash maybe. Not quite fresh enough to be cured tobacco leaf.

How do they do that to PN?

So, I imagine that this was a baby step in the “richer” direction
in order to expand my PN experience.

The problem is that it is too sweet, too soft/milky, and too smokey/ashy for me
with respect to my PN preferences.

Day Two…

Never mind yesterday.

I’m totally enjoying this wine today.

The ash is still there but it is not “burdensome”.

It doesn’t seem THAT silky.

There’s an interesting aroma that I can’t place.

And it’s gone…

Hang in there.
