Punch Lance’s Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
$45, 13.5% alcohol, screwcap, Yarra Valley

This is a cool cabernet with dust, leaf and herb notes liberally strewn through boysenberry, loganberry and forest berry fruit flavours. Elegance is its middle name but it does come complete with comparatively assertive tannin, which at this early stage is still resolving itself. This cabernet will become prettier and softer as it matures; its elegance though will remain. It has a future. Pop it in a cool, dark place for four or five years and you will be rewarded. 92 points.
