Still drinking very nicely! Nice fruit dark berry fruit. Drank it over a 5 day period. It morphed into three phases. The last phase was muted and fading on the 5th day. Did not take detailed notes! I just enjoyed it!

A buried cellar treat. Most lush petit Verdot i have tasted- a Ty twist. Has Syrah influences. After a couple of hours starts to flatten out. Drink now.

Cork had significant crystals on bottom, and there was a fair amount of sediment in the bottom of the bottle. This has mellowed considerably since my last vist - tannins are now fully integrated. But the result is not terribly interesting... a nicely balanced wine without a lot of expressiveness or character. Not gonna get any better either, so drink up!

Purple black, opaque. Nose is delicious. Smoke, dark fruit, some sweet baking spice. Similar to what I like in Cali Syrah nose. Wine weighs heavy in the mouth. Prunes, fig, some herbal notes, pumpkin pie, grass clippings? Great acid zing, heavy tannic tongue.
Great structure, everything is in balance, just big. This is my first foray into pv as a single varietal. Big and expressive.

Less grip than first bottle. Personally enjoyed this a little younger, but still a neat wine.
