The colour was light-medium deep ruby red, with medium legs. The bouquet had light cherry and oak. There was cherry fruit, light spice, and medium dry tannins. This wine had medium body, and quite fruity with medium wood 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.
