| Colour | At release, the wine is a dark red with an intense purple hue. |
| Nose | The wine has distinct aromas of black cherries and ripe strawberries abound with secondary spice, sweet mocha and cigar box characters evident. |
| Palate | At release, this wine is medium to full-bodied with lush red berry, plum and cherry fruit characters. The fruit flavours are balanced by undertones of creamy mocha, spice & subtle savoury characters. The palate has a soft, velvety texture with grainy tannins through the mid-palate and a long, persistence to finish. |

| Cellaring Notes | Crafted for immediate enjoyment but will cellar over a medium term under ideal conditions. |
