As Virginia Petit Verdot goes, this is very respectable. Dark wine with big berry nose showing black raspberries and bramble fruit. Tannins are nice and in check. Still a baby yet, the only other '12 PVs I have tasted are still in barrel. This is as good as any.

Decent Petit Verdot, but I think it is young still. Has a little too much musty basement/barnyard profile for me.

Dark fruits, earth floor, a little bit of barnyard with medium tannins and acidity.

Very well made. Better than most 100% PV. Good acid balance. Drinking great now.
