Devils Lair 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon PlonkOz04

 

If you are looking for a wine that is showing well or that will be drinking well anytime soon, forget about this one as its not showing well now but I have faith in its ability to emerge from its cacoon. It is a seriously structured wine with fantastic long mouth numbing tannins to match the massive fruit that is currently dominated by the tannins. A veritable baby showing coffee/chocolate oak, eucalyptus, green bean and olive. Currently rated as a Highly Recommended (with ** for value) brooding baby that seems to be having a dummy spit, the rating should improve around 2011+ when it sheds its diapers.
