The colour was medium red with a pink edge, and a light bead. The bouquet showed dry light jammy light spicy berry fruit. The taste had a bubbly dry start, light fruity sweetness, and a short finish. This wine was quite sweet and simple, a quite interesting style, and better than I thought it would be.

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.
