Stunning nose. Ripe and kinky. Deep. Lemon cake. Good acidity and freshness and very silky. Great palate presence. Sweet oak that works. High extract. Wood shavings on the nose as well from a woodshop. Silly and sweet.

A little reticent on the nose until it warmed up. Some honeydew , vanilla and pineapple aromas. A moment of trepidation as the weight of the wine leans on my palate but that evaporated quickly as this full body wine spreads across my mouth as if it was a slip and slide. A great cocktail of tropical fruit and minerals riding a deftly handled oak surfboard. Handled our tapas with ease .
