Great nose, lots of boiled chestnuts and toasted chestnut shells, intense with a noticeable yet integrated oak backdrop. Lilacs, white pepper and very light mangosteen fruit. Decidedly soft in the mouth with a rich, viscous feel and initial honied fruit note that yields to an almost strawberry tinged mid-palate with rich orange tones and a touch of butter cream. The finish returns to a more citrussy vein with a nicely floral inner mouth perfume of almost tropical orange blossoms. Big rich balanced and different this is a winner 90pts

Fascinating nose thats woody, oaky and almost earthy. Very intriguing. The wine has a real creamy character with butter and soft spice from the oak coming through. There are flavors of coconuts and dill with a light citrus flavor on the finish. Very nice, and held up for 4 days after opening in the fridge
