The colour was quite deep red, and fairly transparent. The bouquet had dry cherry fruit, some spice. There was dark cherry, chocolate and light spice, full dry smooth finish. This wine had quite complex combination of flavours, medium body.

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.
