A bright ruby red colour with tints of garnet. The aromas are highly concentrated, with dominant red berry notes. This builds into vanilla aromas from the new wood, fig and prune.

While the tannins will remain prominent while young, the wine will retain a certain suppleness and a full, rounded finish.
