He says: It is absolute garbage, and almost undrinkable.
She says: I barely drank any of this wine but a few sips was enough to tell me that I didn’t want any more.

He says: This is a great wine at an amazing price, and it’s good to see Bordeaux deliver something other than plonk at the sub-$20 level. She says: This tasted more New World to me than Bordeaux with its mouthwatering acidity and intense Sauvignon Blanc nose. 
She says: Nothing really memorable about this and I would have expected more from a Spanish wine with 6 years of age. He says: Pretty simple easy sipper. 
This blind review focuses on Aussie plonk, the kind that you see at every summer BBQ in the hand of friends who think it’d be great to bring wine, but have yet to delve deeper. This review focuses on Australia’s sins. 
He says: The Aussies are having a laugh. She says: …for me was at least drinkable (but only just). 
She says: Whilst the aromatics were relatively closed in comparison to the oak bombs alongside, the black pepper on the palate was a welcome layer to the otherwise black fruit and vanilla taste. He says: If you do need to spend less than $15 on a cheap bottle of Shiraz, and it has to be Australian, perhaps try this bottle. 
She says: It makes me sad that this is what a lot of consumers think of when they think of Aussie wine. If I was ‘playing by my rules’ as Yellow Tail advertise, I would not serve this at all. He says: Made to please the masses of the easy-drinking wine drinking public, it’s easy to see why this sells as well as Welch’s grape juice, and I don’t mean to criticize Welch’s. |
