Wintery Review: “This [yellow tail]
Shiraz is everything a great wine should be – vibrant, smooth, rich and easy to
drink. Red berries, spice and liquorice. Enjoy with steak or in front of a
roaring fire.”
My Review: The first thing I
noticed about this wine was that the bottle was sealed with a screw cap. I
researched the reasoning behind why yellow tail does it this way and their website explains it’s due
to convenience, security, and to ensure optimum quality. I tried this wine at
breakfast with eggs and toast, even though after tasting it, I realized it
would be have been better with a steak dinner or served hot, like a mulled
wine!
The wine is a pomegranate red color. It
smelt and tasted like fig newton and prune juice, a little sweeter and smoother
than prune juice though. The texture is thick and syrupy. I would like this
wine served hot.
You really make me want to try this wine! But how did it make you feel when you were drinking it?
