  May 21, 2020 - Opened as a replacement for a corked bottle, this showed quite nicely on a pop and pour. Dark red berried fruit with really dark cherry flavor, almost cherry liquor, with some vanilla and a bit of toasty oak and some sweet pipe tobacco. Very nice. Similar flavors on the palate with a smooth mouthfeel and finish. Medium acid and sweet tannins. Not usually a fan of straight PV wines but when done right and with some age on it, these can be quite enjoyable.

  May 3, 2015 - Intense and concentrated with the standard Ehler's silkiness. Reminds me of a refined version of the syrup Luxardo cherries come in. Luxardo cherries, ripe sweet blueberries, savory herbs, and an old leather chair - sounds weird but it isn't. Not an everyday wine but a nice change of pace. Very drinkable. Agree with others, I think this needs time to reveal more complexity.

  December 12, 2012 - Dark cherry, plum, medicine, a little heat and astringency. Lots of potential. I think folks who know the varietal and flavor profiles will be happy. I have had limited exposure to 100% petit Verdot
