Lemons and a distinct minerality. Too young, light in terms of both colour and flavour, lacking depth. Surprisingly light on oak. -- Wineshout.com

Huge brioche and butterscotch perfume. Oak on the palette with almonds and butter. Finishes bittersweet.

Way too rich for me. Overly creamy and toasty. Maybe with time it'll be more approachable

A gorgeous, bright nose full of citrus and and stone fruit with just a kiss of oak. The palate is perfectly balanced between bright, powerful and creamy, lush oak. Bright flavors of lemon and peach lead to big notes of vanilla and oak along with massive acidity to keep things balanced. The finish is long and creamy with lots of oak and just another bite of acidity to finish it out. A fantastic pairing with a chicken stew.
