The colour was medium-deep ruby red. There was a medium spicy currant and berry fruit bouquet, with light oak. The taste had smooth currant and plum fruit, light vanilla wood, and soft spicy tannins. This wine had strong fruit with soft tannin balance.

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.
