This wine illustrates why most vintners prefer to use Petit Verdot as a blender for its dark color, thick tannins and heavy mouthfeel. It can give weight and body to Cabernet or Merlot. The wine itself has dark, brooding flavors of black currants, tobacco and unsweetened baker’s chocolate.

Here’s a vigorously tannic, dry and rasping red wine. It has briary, somewhat raisiny flavors of blackberries and currants. The tannins hit bigtime on the finish, making it astringent. Doesn’t seem likely to age.
