The coulour was medium to deep purplish red. Bouquet showed quite strong spicy plum and raspberry fruit. The taste was of light vanilla oak soft and smooth, light tannins, then plum fruit flavours. This wine had a good length finish, its a fruity soft style, and fairly simple.

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..
