2005 Punters Corner Shiraz

Matured for 12 months in American and French oak. Very deep crimson colour with deep crimson hue. Top note of spice, followed by cedar, a hint of new leather, plum and white pepper. The palate delivers flavours of plum and spice but is overwhelmed by dry tannins, leaving the fruit in the background. The wine lacks length and depth. Long dry tannic aftertaste.

A tight knit Coonawarra Shiraz which has been matured for 12 months in French and American Oak. Deep crimson colour with deep mauve crimson hue. Medium body, top note of vanilla followed by plum and spice, with perfumed violet end note. The tannins are quite firm on the palate – flavours of plum and stewed fruit are dominant, with a hint of cherry on the back palate. Stewed fruit aftertaste.
