Terlato and Domaine Chapoutier – Shiraz-Viognier 2015 – Victoria

The nose is fruity and offers a slight gourmandise as well as a  slight concentration. It reveals notes of crushed blackberry, redcurrant and crushed strawberry associated with hints of dark chocoalte, oak as well as a discreet hint of spices and an imperceptible hint of flowers. The palate is fruity, fresh, well-balanced, suave, well-defined, precised, relatively elegant, silky and offers a slight fluidity as well as fat. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of fleshy/juicy blackberry, blueberry, redcurrant as well as slight touches of wild strawberry associated with a woody hint, chocolate as well as a discreet hint of caramelization and cardamom. Tannins are well-built. Good length and good aromatic persistence.
