The honeycomb oak emerges first, with citrus and poached pear in its wake. It's voluptuous, rich in body and flavour. There's some deep-set acidity that acts as a motor, pushing the wine forward. The oak re-emerges on the long finish, like buttered toast and brioche. It's a rich expression that's destined to accompany some flavoursome cooking. Might be a bit too oaky for some tastes, but with food it should offer some excellent, satisfying, rich drinking. Half is vinified in new demi-muids, the rest in stainless steel, with indigenous yeasts; no malolactic.
