De Bortoli. 2007 Petit Verdot


General: I am a big fan of De Bortoli's Durif sold under the same series and was keen to try how Petit Verdot was done by them
Variety: Petit Verdot
Region/G.I.: Not stated but presumed Big Rivers, Riverina
Alcohol: 14.0%
Bouquet: Lovely savoury, almost earthy tones with underlying plum
Flavour: Light to medium body with a smooth, tannic finish. Enjoyable savoury flavours add to the complexity.
Points: 84
Notes: A very good drop. I will hunt down more Petit Verdot as I found this style to my taste! Undiscounted, this bottle was $14 (252 Kc) and was worth every cent.
