I always love this bottle but I think I opened this one a bit young. Bright, tight flavors, a bit closed even after an hour. Thanksgiving bottle #1. — a day ago

2018 vintage. Above-average structure with complimentary fruit. Nicely made. Medium/medium-heavy bod. Plenty of punch and thrust for the new vintage, Napa Cab fans and enuff stuffing to go all 15 rounds for the historians/pathologists. 4.27.24. — 7 months ago

Beautiful label with original artwork. Aged well. Color is still very dark. Smells meaty. Floral too. Hints of violets. Berry melange. Flavors are dense and very tannic. Fairly complex and very chewy. Clean and clear with the lovely flavors. Plenty of savory and licorice-y stuff. This is Petite at its best and it’s still going strong 14 years on. — 9 months ago

A little green in flavor (as in unripe), too acidic, but had some elements of tropical fruit, just not full and ripe. Has potential but not the best. — 3 months ago

Really pleasant. Very light and easy drinking; heavy green apple and lemon flavors with apricot. It's got a mineral edge but not in a typical limestone sort of way. Would buy again, but it doesn't last very long, so finish the bottle within a day. Two max. — 8 months ago
