The colour was deep ruby red, and there was heavy sediment. the bouquet had strong vanilla and currant oak. There was a smooth warn oak start, and currant berry fruit. this wine was quite complex, with smooth, well integrated flavours. This is a very impressive 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.
I usually write a blog post about once a week. The latest post can be viewed here: The Right Priorities: Seems like we have the right priorities. What could possibly go wrong?
