Poets Corner 2002 Shiraz Oct 03

Nose shows slightly lifted plum, spice and slight green tinge through the bouquet. On the palate the wine proves itself to be a smooth drop with enough very smooth dusty drying tannin to provide some backbone and crisp acid which do not get in the way of a fruit driven wine that has been designed for early enjoyment. Ample in weight the rounded structure provides flavours of plum, spice, white pepper and a slight green tinge that finishes with good persistency.  Rated as Agreeable with **** for value, it’s certainly good drinking for under $10.
