Ok so they want me to write about the video...NP...when you have a Red wine as fragile as PN you have a hard time getting good color extraction and when you do over time as it ages, especially PN it starts to lose it's color, so is that a problem...NO, NO, NO...think every time you get the tannins to come together to form a longer chain of tannins so they are smoother on your palate they grab an anthocyanin pigment ...AKA they steal color....over time, well aged PN will not be bright RED it will look like Ice Tea ... for me it's at it's best...
