The wine is then aged for one year in 225-liter oak barrels and another 2 years in large 25-hectoliter oak barrels.
The ruby-colored wine smells of ripe cherries, paprika, dried plums, hibiscus, sweet tobacco, and licorice. The sweet glycerine taste in the mouth turns into a bitter, mildly tannic note, warm. Red fruit aftertaste.
