Visual Review
The Deccan Plateau Cabernet Shiraz makes a strong visual impression, pouring a deep garnet with an intense, opaque appearance. There is plenty of depth in the glass, and it looks suitably serious without taking itself too seriously.
Aroma Review
The nose is pleasantly expressive, with good variety and a medium plus intensity. Smoky notes lead into hints of black olive and dark chocolate, giving it a savoury, slightly indulgent character. The aromas are nicely put together, inviting you to take another sniff before getting on with the important business of drinking it.
Taste Review
On the palate, this is a dry, medium bodied wine with light acidity, gentle warmth and soft tannins. It has a nice roundness in the mouth, while the silky tannins and suave texture give it an easy, polished feel. The flavours are noticeable and well balanced, with enough complexity to keep things interesting without turning the glass into a philosophical exercise.
The finish is moderate and pleasant, leaving a comfortable impression. Overall, it is a very enjoyable wine with good potential for some ageing. Its quality is certainly acceptable, and more importantly, it delivers an uncomplicated, satisfying drinking experience. A solid Cabernet Shiraz that gets on with the job rather nicely.
