Appearance:

Deep, almost inky purple, with hints of violet at the rim. The wine's viscosity is noticeable as it clings to the glass.

Aroma:

The nose is enveloped in dark, ripe fruit aromas such as blackberry, plum, and blueberry. These are complemented by secondary notes of violets, lavender, and sometimes a touch of tobacco or cedar. The aroma is intense and concentrated, promising a complex tasting experience.

Taste:

Petit Verdot's flavor profile is bold and full-bodied. The palate is greeted by a burst of dark fruit flavors, often dominated by black cherry, black currant, and blackberry. Firm tannins provide structure, adding a slight grip to the wine and giving it the potential for aging. There's often a pleasing earthiness present, along with a hint of spice—think black pepper or clove—which adds depth to the overall taste.

Finish:

The finish is lingering and powerful, leaving a lasting impression of the wine's rich flavors and substantial tannins. Depending on the winemaking style, the finish can be either slightly herbal or even exhibit a touch of dark chocolate.
