Big surprise. Someone brought this over for dinner and we never got to it. Popped it open a few days later and was surprisingly smooth and full. Typical butter and oak, but some wonderful floral overtones kept it light. At what I think this goes for, this is a great value.

Ripe tropical fruit on the nose: pineapple, papaya and carambola backed by a good load of buttery and spicy oak. Fullbodied and fruity on the palate as well but well balanced by the acidity. Buttered popcorn, cream and smoke stay in the mouth for quite some time. The oak influence is quite heavy, but there's still quite nice balance. A well-made specimen of the oaky style.

Predominent oak and caramel flavor; long finish. Still drinking well!
