Last bottle: acidity holding well suggesting some time left at this level, but no regrets at drinking now.
Decanted two hours, served high 50's F ( cellar temperature +)
As with many Gorman bottlings, maturity removes the in-your-face element, especially noticeable with something as powerful as PV. Could almost describe it as easy drinking, it went down so smoothly over the course of a meal.

Good on PnP, but added fruit with a decant. Better chilled than room temp. Dark purple in color and quite aromatic -- earth, bramble. On the palate earth, violet, dried fruit. Smooth dusty tannins -- integrated well. Long lingering finish. A Benchmark steal at $35.

Friends opened this at their 5/25/19 Petite Verdot tasting. It had a rich, deep, fragrant nose of violet, plum, blueberry, black cherry, licorice and spice aromas. The palate was rich and concentrated with flavors that followed the nose.

Intense with dusty tannins
Taut black acidity, oak notes fully integrated, probably around its peak
