The Gypsy 2017 is once again a cracker of a wine from Ken Forrester. The character is somewhat 'wild', a little brambly with hints of nutmeg, cinnamon, dark spices, with vanilla scents and a distinct, concentrated red-fruit focus. Great for laying down and keeping for at least ten years but already rewarding if allowed to breath in a decanter.
