The colour was deep, dark brick-ruby red. The bouquet had jammy minty berry. The flavour had a smooth full dry start, berry fruit balance, and a light finish. This was a lighter fruity style.

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.



I usually write a blog post about once a week. The latest post can be viewed here: Deranged Rants: Many of them are totally feral, unhinged, and totally irrational. (posted 2024-11-13 at 17:55:14). I do podcasts too!. You can listen to my latest podcast, here: OJB's Podcast 2024-08-22 Stirring Up Trouble: Let's just get every view out there and fairly debate them..
