2008 Cellar block Petit verdot

Anderson's top-of-the-range Petit Verdot. The deep colour and inky/graphite bouquet accurately signal a full-bodied palate, but the tannins are (relatively) fine, and against the odds, the wine aspires to some elegance. It is clearly varietal, and served with a large, thick charcoal-grilled T-bone, would be a major winner.
