The colour was medium deep ruby, with a pinkish edge. There was a sharp currant berry fruit bouquet, with slightly spicy vanilla oak. The taste showed dry woody vanilla oak, crisp spicy plum and currant. This wine had smooth, well balanced flavours, pleasant balance, and medium body.

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.
