this potent petit verdot will test your tolerance for tannins and raw power. after a bouquet of gritty berry aromas, tobacco, moss and graphite, you come to punishing tannins and huge flavors of blackberry and dark chocolate. nothing really subsides on the finish, which is peppery and hard as rocks. this can age another 5–10 years, or drink now with something like steak or braised short ribs.
