The colour was medium ruby red, with moderate legs. The bouquet had spicy vanilla and berry and plum fruit. There was full plum fruit, chocolate, vanilla medium dry tannic finish. This wine was quite nicely balanced, with good 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.
