Yalumba The Paradox Shiraz
An attractive expression of shiraz from the ancient landscape of the northern Barossa valley, this wine treads a satisfying middle line between tradition and trend. It evolves beautifully with air, revealing summer pudding aromas of crushed berries and exotic spice. There’s also a savoury tobacco-like touch of complexity, ahead of a juicy palate that’s smooth and middling in concentration with an appetising thread of saltiness and a dry signature at the end.
