This wine was a big disappointment, considering the great region, reputable producer and price tag. I found this to be a completely uninteresting wine. The wine had a very tight nose and was fairly one-dimensional on the palate, with little more than a predominantly bitter impression. After the initial tasting, I let it sit a day or so in the bottle to see if it would develop more complexity – it did not; instead, it just got more bitter. Based on the reputation of the Petit Clos vineyards, I almost think it may have been a bad bottle. At $40 a bottle, I will not likely find out.
