Very light gold.
A little vanilla (oak) and some nice citrus aromas.
Quite a sweet fruity attack with an oaky presence, plenty of acidity, creamy citrus mid palate, good length, worth cellaring another 3 years.

Pale lemon yellow.
Creamy nose with apple and citrus notes, eventually joined by a little oak.
Lovely citrus attack, some welcome bitterness in the mid palate, the oak doesn't interfere, good length, drinking well now but should really be left for another 4 or more years.
