The colour was deep red, with strong legs. The bouquet had strong fruit, spice, and vanilla. There was strong plum and berry fruit, chocolate, and a smooth oak and earthy finish. This wine was quite complex with full, well integrated flavours.

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.
