A butterscotch and brioche rush on the nose, which flows through to the palate. Apricot and citrus notes on the mid palate. Lovely acidity and oak treatment. This has evolved to better place since the last time I tasted this vintage.

Bourbon and Carmel cream notes. Fresh fruit and vanilla on finish but a touch more RS than expected

Nose is pineapple and oak. On the palate Only moderately alcoholic. Almost a chemical oak taste. This could be worse.
