The color was medium deep ruby red. The bouquet had quite fruity berry, and light vanilla. There was berry fruit, chocolate, light spice, and soft dry vanilla oak. This wine had medium body, and was a softer fruity style, with moderate 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.
