The colour was medium ruby red, with a clear edge. The bouquet had cherry fruit, and light vanilla and spice. There was dark cherry, light minty spice, and a quite dry vanilla oak finish. This wine had a smooth style, with quite strong fruit.
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: A Lie by Omission: There's a good reason for this: the media is corrupt. (posted 2024-05-20 at 13:06:48). I do podcasts too!. You can listen to my latest podcast, here: OJB's Podcast 2024-04-30 The Fall of Rome: I'm afraid that we really might be seeing the demise of the greatest era in history..
