The colour was medium deep red, and there were quite heavy legs. The bouquet was intense sharp oak, plum and berry fruit, and chocolate. The taste had a smooth soft wood start, strong berry fruit, and a light savoury finish, and it was quite dry. This wine was quite complex with intense fruit, and smooth wood balance. It won a silver medal at Bragato Competition in August 2003; and a gold medal at the Royal Easter Show, in March 2004.

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 of this particular wine, on my recommendation, and then regret it!

Note 2: You may not fully 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 and varietal flavours and bouquet, so if you disagree you might just have different priorities.
