Beautiful label with original artwork. Aged well. Color is still very dark. Smells meaty. Floral too. Hints of violets. Berry melange. Flavors are dense and very tannic. Fairly complex and very chewy. Clean and clear with the lovely flavors. Plenty of savory and licorice-y stuff. This is Petite at its best and it’s still going strong 14 years on. — 5 months ago
Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim. Not showing age at all.
Great nose with nice complexity.
Dry on the palate and full bodied with medium acidity.
Showing blackberries, black currants, cooked plums, cedar, tobacco leaf, light earth, herbs and chocolate notes.
Long and elegant finish.
This 18 year old Bordeaux blend from Napa Valley is drinking beautifully now. Rich and elegant. Powerful and fruit forward. Delicious by itself as a sipping wine.
I've had a few vintages of this wine and the 2012 was my favorite so far.

Really pleasant. Very light and easy drinking; heavy green apple and lemon flavors with apricot. It's got a mineral edge but not in a typical limestone sort of way. Would buy again, but it doesn't last very long, so finish the bottle within a day. Two max. — 4 months ago
