  Surprisingly, this wine was still good when it should have been past it's life. We were lucky that we had cellared the bottle correctly. The Blend of Petit Verdot and Syrah is a very good combination. Since the bottle is on its last legs, the nose aromas were not distinctive, muted would be the word. Still had good structure with subtle tannins and full bodied mouth. Would like to try a younger version of the wine.

  No the exotic experience I was hoping for from this unusual 3/4 petite verdot-1/4 syrah blend. Blind, I would have guessed modern left bank bdx or Cali cab predominant blend. Pleasant, but not in any memorable way. In particular, very little midpalate. I am guessing this is why pv usually plays a minor supporting role.

  Interesting blend of primarily Petite Verdot with some Syrah. Graphite, minerals and blackberry nose. Firm tannins, good structure. A blast of spice that whisks away and leaves behind a blueberry finish.
