Yearing Station 2001 Shiraz Viognier Oct 04

 

Judging by other peoples comments I have seen since tasting this wine, it is possible the wine I tried was not truly representative. The bouquet showed little impact from the Viognier with mushroom compost over ripe berries. The wine has excellent structure, mouth feel and balance; tannins are smooth and silky and the fruit distinct. Medium-weight, the consistency is supple, the structure seamless and the complexity diverse. The wine has everything going for it except the flavour profile which slammed the tongue with a hit of green and ripe blackcurrant. Rated as Agreeable with ** for value purely because I could not get past the flavour.
