The colour was quite deep ruby red. The bouquet had plum and berry fruit, and vanilla tannins. There was ripe fruit start, medium dry vanilla oak finish. This wine had quite intense flavours, and was fruity with moderate wood 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.
