This wine had a quite deep ruby red colour, with fairly heavy legs. The bouquet had quite fruity cherry and light wood. The flavour had medium spicy berry fruit, smooth dry oak and light earthy flavours. This wine was quite well balanced, with medium complexity.

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, on my recommendation, and then regret it!

Note 2 You may not 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 flavours and bouquet, so if you disagree you might just have different priorities.
