Very deep garnet black in color, the 2005 Petit Verdot has aromas of dried plums, mulberries and warm blackberries over cloves, dusty earth, white pepper and sandalwood. Full-bodied and crisp in the mouth, it presents a moderate concentration of earthy, dark berry fruit, medium-firm fine tannins and a long earthy finish. Drink it now through 2014. No known USA importer.
