Gran Poetico Petit Verdot 2006

Blockbuster would be the wrong word, because that’s not what Mauricio Lorca’s wines are about, but nonetheless you might want to put your seatbelts on. This packs an almighty punch for the Petit Verdot cause, replete as it is with ripples of robust black fruit flavour. 12 months in new oak – 90% French, 10% American – powerful and pure.

“Concentrated with lots of tannins and black forest gateau flavours. Intense but balanced. Long, spicy finish. Sophisticated.”
