Dalfarras 2005 Shiraz Viognier


General: I became of a fan of Dalfarras when I took my only bottle of their 2007 Pinot Gris/Viognier to a bbq and had to share a great bottle. I picked this up last week which is unusual given its age
Varieties: Shiraz, Viognier
Region/G.I.: Goulburn Valley/Nagambie Lakes (Vic)
Alcohol: 14.0%
Bouquet: Dark plum and a little savoury - something like rich Christmas cake, with a hint of vanilla
Flavour: Rich fruit with some black pepper and some vanilla in the tail. Good tannins remain and good length. Quite enjoyable.
Points: 84
Notes: $11.95 (215 Kc) from one of the big liquor discounting chains here. Great value and I will have to grab another couple of bottles as I am sure this will be a crowd pleaser.
