Still drinking well. Impression of skin contact has become more evident, with slight orange wine nose, but which is also very floral in addition to nutty. Light weight mouth. Finish is just a bit short and would like some more acidity to lengthen it, but otherwise decent amount of minerality in the finish.

Surprisingly delicate and elegant wine. Drinks very differently out of a wide bowled glass verses more narrow glass. Wide bowled reveals the oak in the nose, narrow reveals more of the nuttiness (think Brazil nut rather than hazelnut) and touch of citrus in the nose, which I prefer. Surprisingly light weight elegant mid palate, but with good concentration. Tropical fruit and moderate acidity on the finish. Mid palate is the most interesting aspect of the wine.
