WHAT: Casillero del Diablo Shiraz 2010 (red) Rating: NNN
WHERE: Rapel Valley, Chile
THE DAMAGE: $11.95, LCBO #568055
THE NOTES: Bit of a horn-blower. Herbal, peppery bouquet verging on something meaty. Medium-full weight. Slow-building fruit flavours with a herbal edge.
THE SCENE: The spice grinder is a-whizzin’, the oil’s a-sizzlin’, the lamb is on the sauté and you’re getting all South Asian. Drop the needle on the Ravi Shankar and get ready for some taste intensity.
