The colour was quite deep red, with moderate legs and light sediment. The bouquet had strong spice and jammy berry and vanilla. There was full, smooth plum and berry fruit, and a medium dry vanilla oak finish. This wine had medium to full body, and full fruit and oak balance.

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.
