2017 Brecon Forty-Two (Red Rhone Blend)
Sooooo if your tasting partner got Petunias on the nose! Be warned they might, just perhaps, be on the OCD spectrum. Curiously the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, from which this 42 gets inspiration. Raises to sentient status a certain bowl of Petunias stating “Oh no, not again” as it falls planetward! Of course your tasting partner can recite that verbatim. Soft, velvety smooth, perhaps like a Petunia petal, this has an intriguing mix of both forest fruit aromas and flavors as well as having a stunning length for a Rhone Style wine.
