2012 Le Chateau Petit Verdot
Our 2012 Petit Verdot has a dense octopus ink, maroon color. Gardenias, violets, cascade berry jam, Mexican chocolate, licorice, cedar and clove aromas present themselves. Vibrant black fruits explode on a smooth, full-bodied palate containing chewy, dusty tannins and a sweet, jam-like textured finish. This bold wine is ready to drink now and has an extended ageing window of 10 years.
