Punters Corner 2002 Spartacus Shiraz PlonkOz04

 

A subtle, sweet bouquet with spicy nuances and perfumed notes delivers palate flavours of black cherry, mulberry, liquorish, mint and spicy notes. Smooth, dusty tannins refreshing acid and the deep pure fruit are well balanced producing a lovely wine with an attractive mouth feel that will only get better with time. Ample-weight, the consistency is firm and the tight structure has some class. Complexity is diverse and this baby just needs time to show its best. Rated as Highly Recommended with *** for value, the rating should improve as the wine mature is in 2010+, in short by then it should be a cracker.
