I tasted the 2003 vintage of this wine on 24 Oct 2004 when it was 1 year old and gave it a rating of ok.
Colour was light ruby red, with a pinkish edge. The bouquet was sweet spicy berry fruit. The taste showed light soft vanilla oak, strawberry fuit, and a short dry finish. This wine was quite simple, a light fruity spicy style.

The colour was bright and clear ruby red with a pinkish edge and moderate legs. The bouquet had cherry fruit and light wood, and was slightly spicy.

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.
