thick, concentrated, almost syrupy aromas of blueberry, fudge, espresso and a splash of crème de menthe show on this attention-grabbing bottling of 61% petit verdot, 21% cabernet sauvignon and 18% merlot. the palate is happily not as thick as expected, offering dark chocolate, minty licorice and espresso flavors, leaving a menthol zing on the tongue into the finish.
