The colour was quite deep dark red. The bouquet had berry and currant fruit, spice, and chocolate. There was berry fruit, vanilla and light spice, and a medium oak finish. This wine was quite a soft style, with fruit and moderate wood.

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.
