The colour was quite deep opaque ruby red. There was a spicy currant and plum fruit bouquet, with light vanilla oak. There was a quite intense currant fruit, slightly earthy flavour, with soft oak wood. This wine had nice fruit, spice, and wood balance. It wwas awarded gold in the New World Wine Awards, 2014.

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.
