Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Amazing colour, and the bouquet to match; explosive dark fruit and aromas of oak jump out of the glass and assault the senses, and then caress the palate with beautiful fruit delineation and intensity; appropriate oak for the fruit is the key to this wine.

Full of gorgeous, sweet, perfumed fruit flavour. Soft, plummy, violetty and seductive, though its musky, chewy, spicy tannin will ensure that it’s cellaring life is a long one. The mid-palate silkiness here is quite something.
