The red wine Alttus Shiraz, vintage 2009 from the winery Salomon Estate has been rated in 2015 with 95 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Syrah from the region Fleurieu in Australia.
Deep dark ruby-garnet with purple reflections and a watery edge. Smoky, woody spice underpins black berry fruit, hints of liquorice and some peppermint on the nose, with a waft of wild strawberry. The palate is juicy with elegant texture, built around a core of fruit sweetness - red forest berries in particular - and with fine, supporting tannin. It already seems harmonious and accessible, with good length to a sweet cherry and mint-driven finish. Safe ageing potential.
