Not crisp but a rather buttery almond taste with pears in there too.

Very fruit focused. Aromas of melon and lemon and vanilla. Flavors of yellow apples and pears lead to a smoothie and lingering finish.

The oak doesn't work well in this wine. Seems a little unbalanced.

Golden yellow, like you're dehydrated. Aromas of oak and vanilla. Flavours of toasted oak, vanilla, butter and burnt popcorn. Full bodied with good length.

Delish. Refreshing without being sweet.
