The colour was quite deep red, and there were light legs. The bouquet showed strong spicy berry fruit, and soft wood. The flavour showed spice, vanilla and licourice, plum and berry fruit, and soft tannic finish. This wine was quite fruity with some 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.
