The colour was medium semi-opaque ruby red. Th ebouquet showed strong smooth clean cherry fruit. There was smooth soft earthy wood, light vanilla peppery tannin and cherry fruit, and a clean dry light finish. This wine was quite complex, but smooth, clean and soft. It was a well balanced style. It won silver at the Royal Easter Wine Show, 2000.

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.
