The 2019 Petit Bocq is deep garnet-purple colored. It hits the ground running with evocative scents of warm cassis, baked black cherries and boysenberries plus nuances of dried mint, chocolate box, Indian spices and tilled soil. Medium-bodied, the palate has bags of energetic black fruits with a chewy texture and oodles of freshness to support, finishing with a pleasant herbal lift.
