Nose
High oak notes. Starts tight and slightly citric and grassy then into fir and deepens to cooked fruits, plasticene and a heavy floral perfume (iris/lily). Palate
Good depth. Sweet fruitiness-apple juice, nutty. Increasingly firm and oaky. Finish
Dry, nutty. Comment
Shows good complexity, just tipped slightly into the oak camp.
