Super elegant and concentrated particularly when you consider the American oak used to barrel ferment.

Not over oaked nor too much 🧈 great balance
Other peeps be drinking this way too early to score properly.

Lemon cupcake. Sweet with a little backbone of lemon zest. More oak than I remember. Full body. Could see it aging but we drank it. :)

Rich and supple. Just an apertif before a Monte Bello red vertical tasting. Fantastic.
