I bought a few of these on spec after some very promising reviews. This bottle wasn’t quite as good as previous bottles because of a distracting green bean character, though all up it is a very good wine. Aromas of red currants, tobacco and cedar, green stalks, coffee beans, quite mulchy and herbaceous. The palate showed blackcurrants, green beans, coffee beans, leafy eucalypt and cigar box. Full long flavours, pleasant fruit weight, though with a touch of greenness on the finish.
