The colour was medium ruby red, with a pale edge, and quite strong legs. The bouquet had strong cherry fruit, and light earthy leather. There was a strong fruit taste, with cinnamon spice, and light pepper and an earthy leather finish. This was quite a complex wine, but still young and fruity. It was bottled by Peregrine.

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.
