The colour was deep ruby red, with quite strong legs. The bouquet had strong plum fruit and chocolate tannins. There was full fruit, some earthiness, mint and pepper, and a smooth dry tannic finish. This wine had quite complex flavours, and well integrated fruit and wood
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.
