General: I have bought a few bottles of Petit Verdot and actually enjoyed a bottle from Trentham estates last week. (It was shared and drunk at a bbq where I did not jot down its attributes. I'll buy another bottle and try again :-))
Variety: Petit Verdot
Region/GI: Mudgee, Central Ranges NSW
Alcohol: 14.5%
Bouquet: Earthy. Some plum tones but mainly earthy.
Flavour: Very nice length. Interesting and enjoyable savoury, almost meaty flavour with a dry, tannic finish. I found the tannins ever so slightly harsh. Very nice complexity.
Points: 83
Notes: This was a present. I will get another bottle to age for a year to see how this develops. It was fine now but I suspect a little more time will make it great.
