cherry, dark berry. moderate oak influence, mostly vanilla. shy nose opened up after about an hour decanted with agitation. then white pepper, cedar. smooth but present tannins, moderate-full body. Enjoyable with or without food.

Aromas of sour mango and lemon zest on a backdrop of pastry dough. on the palate much of the pastry was overpowered by a bracing tartness finishing with, for me, some unpleasant grapefruit bitterness. While the citrus acidity was bright and palate cleansing, it was def an experience I preferred in small doses.

Bright and citrusy. Lemon zest dominant with a little grapefruit. the nose has more brioche than the palate. Crisp and refreshing. A great palate cleanser. For me, the bitterness of the grapefruit leads this to be better enjoyed in smaller quantities.
