Very deep red/purple colour, very youthful. Aromas of banana, cherry, raspberry: fruit-driven and shows less obvious super-ripeness than some vintages. It seems less oaky and more fruit-forward too. Fresh and fragrant, bright and lively and somewhat atypical. You can sense the viognier (although it's a tiny fraction of the wine). There's no lack of intensity or weight, though. Dare I say it's a more elegant style
