The colour was medium ruby red, it had moderate legs. The bouquet showed moderate berry fruit, and spicy vanilla oak. The taste had raspberry and cherry fruit, spicy light pepper, and a soft tannic finish. This wine had fairly good balance, and was a quite spicy fruity style.

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.
