I usually find wine aged in oak is heavy, which appeals to my taste buds but this wine is lighter and citrusy, not in a; I can't finish the bottle kind of way, more of a; I will certainly finish the bottle - I dislike waste - but might not be first in the queue to buy it again. Only because it's not as heavy as I like wines stored in oak barrels to taste.
Saying that I reserve the right to come back and edit my review later (after drinking some more of it) as I might change my opinion!
