The color was deep purple red, with quite strong legs. There was a sharp spicy plum and berry fruit bouquet, with vanilla oak. The flavour had smooth soft fruit, and a medium dry tannic finish. This wine had intense fruit flavours with strong tannic balance.

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.
