  First ever Petite Sirah and the nose is full of age. Leather, dried fruit, autumn leaves and all that. Raisin in the mouth. Some smoked liqourice as well. But after just a few sips this overwhelms me. It's like being punched in the face. No caress. Just full on power in your mouth and if that is your thing this is for you. But I prefer some complexity - and some elegance. You won't find it here.
  
  After one glass I had enough - who can I get to drink the rest?
  
  Edit: Turns out both my sister and my son didn't mind drinking this. And my sister got the bottle to bring home. So it might just be me.

  Evidently drinking the Maggio Petite Sirah can go to your head as evidenced by the 94 point rating. I mean, it is acceptable, value for money; nicely extracted, dense color, somewhat jammy.
