Region/G.I.: Greater Perth, Swan District, Swan Valley
Vintage: 2011
Closure: Screwcap
Colour: Garnet
Alcohol: 13.9%
Bouquet: Really not much in the nose. Very feint hints of gravel and plum skins
Flavour: The highlight is the tannic finish which is long. To get there, rich, chewy, mulberry fruit is in abundance. Not super complex but tasty.
Points: 82 (3+5+11+7+6+50)
Notes: When visiting the Swan Valley in March 2015 is was a nice surprise to find Petit Verdot in quite a few places there. This misses a bouquet which is disappointing given the lovely flavour profile which follows. $25 ~ 450Kc from the cellar door.
