22 September 2003 2001 Shiraz, Yalumba, Australia: £6.99 Majestic This is what lots of guys used to do in Australia – really juicy gobloads of flavour overload at the right price. Most of the ‘big name’ Aussie companies are paying less and less regard to the palates of the consumers who made them successful in the first place, but Yalumba is still family-owned – and it shows. The boss says, please the consumer, and this delicious fruit bomb of chocolate and blackberry, syrup of figs, eucalyptus and a twist of lime does just that.
