This wine had a medium deep red colour, and moderate legs. The bouquet was strong spicy plum and berry fruit. The taste started with soft vanilla oak, and showed moderate jammy fruit. This wine had soft tannins with quite intense fruit.

Note 1 I am not really a wine expert (just an enthusiastic amateur), so please don't take my recommendations as anything more than a rough guide to these wines. I can take no responsibility if you buy a lot, on my recommendation, and then regret it!

Note 2 You may not agree with my evaluation of these wines as a lot of this is quite subjective. I tend to put a lot of emphasis on complexity and intense characteristic flavours and bouquet, so if you disagree you might just have different priorities.
