The colour was a deep intense purple red, and there was some sediment. The bouquet had intense oaky, and spicy berry fruit. The taste was dry with oaky earthy chocolate and smooth berry fruit. This was a quite smooth complex wine.
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.
