The colour was quite deep full ruby red, and there was quite full legs. The bouquet had strong spicy currant fruit, and light vanilla oak. There was full berry and plum fruit, and a soft smoky tannic finish. This wine was very smooth and quite complex.

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.
