Bottle lost at back of fridge - way past its prime. Some nice apple, grapefruit, lemon on the nose - but mostly faded and overtaken by the oak. Taste was same fruit flavors, but weak.

Lightly golden in colour. Huge buttery, oaky, vanilla studded spices on the nose with a hint of d'anjou pear. The body is medium and displays a rich mouthfeel with oak and vanilla dominating. Surprisingly finishes with a nice burst of acidity with lemon curd and fresh cream. I don't particularly care for this, however it is well made.

Something funky on the nose. I guess it's the wood. Where's the fruit? I just don't like this. However, the tasters were divided. Some really enjoyed it, and a couple others along with me didn't see the interest. I did see that someone (Wine Enthusiast?) ave this wine a big score, though.

Nose of vanilla, honey, and oak. Rich flavors of roast pear and apple with toasted oak. Very luscious, long finish. Great!

Paired the wine poorly and didnt really get a great taste of it. Signifiant amount of vanilla and oak, light and crisp, alot of citrus.
