Supposedly past it's best drinking, but with a couple of hours to breathe, this was very very nice. Lots of soft berry fruit, chocolate, perhaps some caramel on the aftertaste. Not a lot of tannin, but not light. Fulsome. Wish I had more.

Fruit-forward characteristics, particularly blackberries and currants. The slightest touch of white pepper rounds out the finish. Pairs well with lighter barbecued meats or even Mexican food

Tasted blind – Opened and served right away. Medium ruby, clear. Nose of confected berries, raspberries, blackberries, sweet spice. Artificial nose. Medium to full body, low to medium tannin, med-high acidity, short finish. Confected berry juice flavour. Not my style of wine. This must be the ringer (and it was). Drink now. Average.

OK, but nothing special. Not a bad everyday wine for the price

This isn't bad. Fruity, jammy, vanilla, and oak. There's residual sugar but this isn't as sweet as other Yellow Tail offerings.
