Wasn't sure what to expect. Single varietal Petit Verdot is notoriously tricky. This has the classic floral and vegetal elements. Tannic as expected. But pretty well balanced, not over extracted and bitter. A touch spicy/peppery for my preferences, but well made and worth opening.

This is really good right now. I wouldn't call this a delicate pinot noir. Decent tannins. Typical Pinot fruits but really nice secondary flavors. Minty, chocolate -y. As my glass warmed up I began to notice some interesting changes to the nose- at first, a butterscotch smell, then maybe candied fruits.
