The colour was quite deep ruby red. The bouquet had plum and berry fruit, with vanilla and oak tannins. There was full berry fruit, vanilla, chocolate, mint and spice, and long dry oak. This wine had full flavours, and was 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.
