The wine had a quite deep ruby red colour, with a pale pink edge. It showed an intense raspberry fruit, and light herb and earth bouquet. This wine had a dry earthy tannic oak start, and rich strong peppery cherry fruit. It had well integrated flavours, medium body, and was a dry smooth style. This was quite an impressive, moderately 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.
