The colour was quite deep purple red,and there were moderate legs. Therer was a light spicy peppery and jammy berry bouquet. The flavour showed strong berry fruit, light savoury and chocolate flavour, and there was a soft spicy tannin finish. This wine was a fairly fruity style with light tannin 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.
