Lots of oak on the nose - it is actually somewhat overwooded. A bit lacking on the fruit on the palate.

Beeswax, cut grass, peaches, and apricots on the nose. It has crisp acidity and is medium-bodied. Despite some creaminess the acidity is, however, someone overwhelming. Pretty good value nonetheless.
