The colour was deep clear ruby red. The bouquet was smooth with medium fruity cherry. The flavour had quite strong cherry fruit, moderate earthy flavours, and a dry tannic finish. This was a nice style with good balance. It was awarded blue-gold in the top 100 wines, 2006.
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.
