Craneford, Petit Verdot, Barossa Valley 2002

Deep red/purple.

Deep black fruit, garrigue, salami and nut aromas.

Round and plush (amazingly), with a slight saline edge. Very easy flow through the mid-palate. Not particularly complex in the mouth, or deep, but suave and satisfying. No overt signs of oak.

Day 4 - Hard grape candy, cinnamon new aromatic additions. Not sure why I thought this wasn't deep on day 1 - it is - quite.
Loaded with powdery tannin on the long, saline/salami finish.

$25 on release
