The Charosa Selections Shiraz 2019, despite being produced by the renowned Charosa Vineyards in Nashik, India, falls short of expectations. While Charosa Vineyards is known for its commitment to quality and expertise in viticulture, this particular Shiraz does not live up to the standards typically associated with their wines.

Visual Review
The Charosa Selections Shiraz 2019 is very opaque, with a deep purple hue. Its inky visual aspect, typical of Shiraz grape, is particularly engaging.
Aroma Review
On the nose, Charosa Selections Shiraz 2019 offers a strong and appealing aroma. The variety of scents is intriguing, featuring very good nose quality.
Hints of leather and a light presence of black fruits mingle with earthy undertones. The wine also teases the senses with a bit of black cherry, cedar, and black pepper, creating an enthusiastic anticipation for the tasting experience.
Taste Review
However, the tasting experience of Charosa Selections Shiraz 2019 leaves much to be desired. The wine is dry, with light acidity and bodyt, and a medium level of warmth. The tannins are medium, but come across very aggressively.
The overwhelming presence of pith and cedar creates a strong, unpleasant bitterness that overshadows other flavors.
The flavor intensity is strong, but unfortunately, the balance is noticeably off. The tasting experience is barely enjoyable, marred by a horrible bitterness that dominates the palate and a long but very unpleasant aftertaste. The wine seems to have been oaked excessively, which has contributed to its harsh profile.
