Garzón Single Vineyard Petit Verdot 2015
Garzon, Maldonado, San José, UruguayThis late-ripening, single-vineyard petit verdot is planted to the north, increasing its exposure to the sun and light and allowing full physiological maturity. This was fermented in concrete tanks before 12-18 months on the lees in French barrels and casks. The colour is an impressive reddish black. A tighter gravelled framework rules the dense palate, fleshed out with scented violets, black plums, wild blackberry. Beautiful precision, lift and minerality throughout, with petit verdot's characteristic raging tannins reduced to a potent fine-grained hum that vibrates on the finish. Impressive, textural and age-worthy.Tasted: 05 March 2017Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Treve RingPrices:| CDN | $53.00 | 750ml | estimated retail |
