Yellow tropical fruit: starfruit, melon and peach on the nose. Slight mushroomy nuances and distinct oak notes like buttered pop corn and toffee. Some heat as well. Dry, medium bodied and decently balanced by citrusy acidity. Slightly peppery. Towards the finish the rough oak notes are a bit too dominant compared to the fruit. Heat also on the palate. Otherwise decent balance. Forgettable.

Beautiful golden color. Taste of oak and tropical fruit. Strange spiciness. At the end pineapple and tutti frutti notes take over.

This is an excellent bottle, lightly oaked, abundant fruit, bracing acidity. Very well done. 4/5 stars.

Buttery, spicy, still fresh. No oak here. Decent stuff!

Buttery and spicy. Interesting, as fresh citrus taste alternates with more oaky flavors. Priceworthy!
