BUY THE WINE

Rebecca Gibb: The rather cool growing season still shows itself in the now fully evolved bouquet: There are hints of herbal and green capsicum on the nose, as well as spice and tobacco. It is now looking a little volatile, and the tannins are beginning to dry. It has lots of charm elsewhere, however; it is densely concentrated and mellow in style, with great length, leaving paprika-like flavors lingering on the palate. Drink now.
