This wine had a quite deep red colour, with a brownish edge. The bouquet was jammy, with currant and berry and some vanilla oak. The flavour was smooth oak and currant fruit, with light acid. This wine had a nice balance of fruit and wood, and was quite smooth.

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.
