Oak alert! And after only three years there’s not much else (especially fruit) left to balance it. But that’s what you get when you ferment and age in French barrique, with daily bâtonnage. They should really rethink what they want to achieve with this wine.

Light to mid golden. Orange rind, honeysuckle, toasted oak, peaches, anis. More play and complexity than these words can express, but of course not that elegant as one expect from an outstanding wine. Nevertheless this is well made, excellent and very enjoyable at this price level. If you prefer this with dominating fruit over the scents and flavors delivered from the new oak, drink this as young as you can get it. Great bargain. 5/12/17/8. -2025 92 points from Monica Larner, The WA.

Pretty oaky, but fresh notes of apple (pie), peach. Medium body. Good acid.
