De Bortoli Wines 2011 Durif

Variety: Durif (aka Petit Sirah)
Region: Big Rivers, Riverina
Vintage: 2011
Closure: Screwcap
Alcohol: 13.5%
Colour: Inky purple
Bouquet: Cedary, cigar box and some spicey tense fruit (plum?)

Flavour: Good length and straightforward although the fruit is not really discernible. It doesn't have much oomph and is not memorable/typical of anything.

Points: 79 (3+6+9+6+5+50)
Notes: F and I were tasting Durif as the rest of the group were not keen. We only tried two from the same producer and this was disappointing. We expected more. This series from this big producer is $10-$13.
