Still has some nice fruit. Lots of butter on the nose and palate but not over-oaked, thankfully. I really liked this, and it paired great with scallops in a bacon cream sauce. As it warmed to room temperature, the flavors were more pronounced and actually better.

Begins with heavy oak and opens to a complex and surprisingly light array of citrus, flowers, and tannin.

Nice texture but the oak is just too overpowering for me, even after 1 hour of air.
