Wine EnthusiastA brisk aroma mixes dried oregano, bell pepper, juicy lemon and a hint of rubber. The palate leads with rubber and graphite notes, followed by lemon and then pepper. A vegetal midpalate emerges in tones of bell pepper. Mouthwatering, bracing and brisk with a slight sweetness, while the peppery fade shows a hint of juniper, too. Best Buy.
