Visual aspect: ruby-red with dark tinges, some tears. Nose: pleasant, elaborate. A mix of fruits, spices, with woody and grilled notes. Palate: pleasant first taste, fine tannins. Warm palate, because of the presence of alcohol. A good style for the finish marked by the wood. Match with food: duck fillet with turnips and carrots in honey and thyme. Comments: the Petit Verdot has a good maturity, it is simply extraordinary.
