Hmmmm! I love what a lot of the (esp. S.E.) Australian wineries do with the
grapes - they turn out very flavour and sugar rich grapes, and make them
into some of the fattest, roundest tasting wines you can find ANYWHERE, IMO.
One thing I dislike about some (most of the 'everyday' priced ones) European
reds, is I find a lot of them are thin and overly acidic, while lacking the
depth of tannins to back it up, or indeed see them mellow and mature well
with aging. Of course, looking well and paying more will turn up far better.
I've still not had a better wine under £10 than anything from McG's at
~£5...
