Driftwood Artefacts petit verdot 2023

The long, cool, and sustained ripening period of this vintage seemed to suit petit verdot, which requires the fruit to get fully ripe. In this case, it has, but there's also that wonderful degree of elegance and refinement that comes with this vintage. Loaded with deep, dark fruits after a floral aromatic opening. Well-worked oak and a fine thread of chalky tannins. It's a stylish expression of this variety.
