There was a deep dark purple red colour, and strong legs. The bouquet had sharp and strong vanilla oak and berry fruit. The flavour had full berry fruit and spice, chocolate and long dry vanilla and firm oak finish. This wine had intense flavours, was full bodied, and quite complex, with nice balance.

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.
