Definitely needs air! After that you get nice fruit and depth. OH is still too high for my liking, but this bottle was much better than the last. Really enjoyed it tonight.

Good texture on the palate but minimal fruit and way too high in OH at 15.7%. Maybe that is typical for a Petit Verdot, but not in my wheelhouse. It's definitely unique, so compliments for that, but a little overwhelming to be honest.

Not a subtle rugged version, but an in-your-face smack down monster at 15.7% showing a fiery side that was not mellowed
