Description
A deep blue-black hue leads to the mystery that is Petit Verdot. As it unravels, subtle aromatics of musty wine cellars and countryside breezes greet the senses. Shades of blood plums and black olives mixed with a brighter blueberry fruit essence play on the mid-palate, canella, and just a touch of smoke linger in the background. Its noticeable tannins are gentle, and the sticky coating left in the mouth is laden with a dry, yet gob-smacking fruit aftertaste. A sensual yet tangible sensation remains, clamoring for a good food pairing. Be inventive! Have it with Shashlyk Shish Kebab, Iranian Beryoni, Mexican Adobo, Beef with Mole, Chinese Barbecue Pork, or any food with plenty of protein and fat. Consider rich cuts of red meat and well-aged cheeses like Stilton. In Vegetarian fare, have it with rich curries with root vegetables and pumpkin.
