The colour was quite deep ruby red. The bouquet had raspberry fruit, and soft tannins. There was plum and berry flavours, savoury mushroom, and light dry tannins. This wine had full berry fruit, complex savoury flavours, and light tannins.

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.
