YOUR RESULTS for "Petit Verdot"

Aromas of blackberry, blueberry and a hint of spice nicely integrated with the new oak. The palate is medium-bodied and very well balanced. Flavors of blueberries, blackberries and roasted tomatoes alongside pencil shavings and Christmas spices. It has supporting acidity and fine tannins towards the finish.

This delicious red opens with deep aromas of smoke, tobacco, raspberry and blackberry with chocolate and coffee. Plush flavors of blackberry, black cherry, and fruit leather lend a touch of cola sweetness that is a nice counterpoint to the soft, fine tannins.

From Decanter Concentrated autumnal fruit offers a hawthorny bramble of blackberry and bilberry. Big-framed, muscular tannins are joined by plenty of acidity - it's very clearly built to last and confident in its ability to reward those with patience. Matured in 50% new oak. Axel Marchal and Valerie Lavigne consult.

From the producer: Lynch-Bages 2015 has a brilliant, deep colour with purple hues. Its nose clearly expresses aromas of cassis and dark fruit, mixed with the empyreumatic notes that come with ageing. It has a straightforward attack and a voluminous yet supple mid-palate. The wine has a marked but silky tannic structure, and a persistent finish illustrative of a particularly ripe vintage.

"Jean-Michel Laporte (previously at La Conseillante) arrived as technical director in 2018, just as this wine was being bottled, and it's not a bad vintage to usher him in to the world of Château Talbot. I drank this at friend's house a few months ago, and it had been open 24 hours by the time we were pouring it out, which just might be the ideal time, as the tannins were soft and open, and everything felt plush and welcoming. It has the balance of the appellation, the precision that Talbot has increasingly showcased over the past few years, and a sappy feel to the tannins. 50% new oak. Stéphane Derenoncourt as consultant, with Eric Boissenot." - Jane Anson, (10/20/2022), Ratings: 94

Barrel-influenced aromas of vanilla and smoke combine with blueberry, black currant, and darker fruit like plum in this aromatically intense Tuscan red blend. Flavors are full and generous, delivering dried herbs, licorice, and fruits similar to those on the nose. This tastes gorgeously Italian but also cool climate.

Densely fruity and juicy aromas of blackberry, cassis, dark cocoa, and charcoal. The palate follows suit with more dense black fruit wrapped in a supple structure with lingering touches of wood spice and smoke on the finish.

From the producer: Casanova di Neri's Toscana Irrosso is a Sangiovese-based blend with berry, herbal and sweet spice notes. Pure aromas and flavors of black currant, blackberry and violet are shaded by notes of wild Mediterranean herbs, iron and sweet spices in this balanced red. The tannins are solid yet refined, and the finish lingers, echoing the fruit, herbal and spice elements.

A generous red stunner from California. On the nose fragrant raspberries, damson plums and Tellicherry black peppercorns. On the palate dried cherries, chocolate, toasted baking spice, blueberry coulis, red licorice, a touch of herbs. Full bodied with a harmonious texture, soft on the palate. 

This rosé entices with pretty aromas of peach and cantaloupe combined with attractive raspberry or strawberry notes. It is round in the mouth, highlighted by refreshing acidity and flavors of prickly pear, watermelon rind and peach blossom. The wine stays pleasantly fresh from first sip through the finish.
