The colour was medium-deep ruby red, and there were moderate legs. The bouquet had spicy berry fruit, and light woody tannins. The taste had soft berry and cherry fruit, some spice and pepper, and a smooth tannic finish. It had very smooth well balanced flavours, and was good after 5 years ageing.

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 of this particular wine, on my recommendation, and then regret it!

Note 2: You may not fully 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 and varietal flavours and bouquet, so if you disagree you might just have different priorities.
