The 2007 Petit Verdot is even better than the delicious 2006. It possesses a dark cherry colour and a huge bouquet of coconut, coffee, milk chocolate, smoke, raspberries, cassis and game. Full bodied, the palate is ripe with lots of red and black fruits. There is excellent length and firm, ripe tannins. Cellar until 2013 and consume until 2018. If you opt to drink it tonight, think confit de canard or leg of lamb stuffed with feta cheese, toasted pine nuts and braised leeks.
