“This is a rich, full style with pure fruit and a ripe line of citrussy acidity that carries the wine home to a firm, powerful ending. There’s peach flavors and fresh apricot alongside grilled nuts and nougat derived from barrel fermentation and maturation. It’s a little oaky in youth if I’m nitpicking but time will lend a hand.”
