Tasting note: Generous oak influence that will likely moderate with a year or two in bottle presently fights somewhat with the spicy white peach and lemon rind-infused aromas that are followed by sappy and relatively powerful medium weight flavors that possess plenty of mid-palate fat before delivering a beautifully complex, balanced and long finish. As I noted, this is on the oakier side at the moment but there is sufficient underlying material to suggest that the wood will be successfully absorbed in due time. |
