The colour was medium-deep ruby red, with a slightly pink edge, and some light sediment. This wine had a soft ripe raspberry fruit bouquet, it was light and dry. The taste was soft dry tannic wood, light pepper and vanilla flavours, and ripe cherry fruit, it had nicely balanced flavours. It was medium bodied, nicely balanced, smooth and dry with full flavours.
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.
