Back on track and shining in what is a fine vintage the 2012 PV is as rich and showy as they come. The nose is an exotic mix of chocolate, vanilla, liquorice and black cherry jam flecked with savoury dried herbs. The plate is soft the fruit is black, warm and sweet with dense fine grained tannin that persists well into the back of the palate. You can drink this now with your favourite steak or cellar it five to eight years.
