M Chapoutier, Domaine Tournon Mathilda Shiraz, 2013

Tasted by:
(at Decanter's June 2017 issue Australian Value Shiraz Panel Tasting, 16 Feb 2017)
Drinking Window: 2017 - 2022
Aromatically amorphous, but still somehow very engaging, this has a seamless balance of fruit to savoury notes. The palate is where it really comes alive, with great raspberry-peppery definition. Arguably Shiraz dressed as Grenache, this is a fine example of a lower-alcohol style.
