Punters Corner 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon PlonkOz04

The nose was slightly volatile with lifted alcohol and showing very ripe fruit. Silky tannins provide a deceptively good backbone and combined with distinct fruit to form an ample-weight wine with a supple consistency that is easy to drink now but should improve in the short term. A truly varietal but ripe Coonawarra Cabernet that finishes with good persistence and drying tannins; this is an underrated wine label. Rated as Recommended with **** for value.
