Muted nose with a slither of coconut. Lovely presentation on the palate. Displays butterscotch, caramel and green peppers. Relatively soft and round on the palate. Perfectly balanced with delicate sweetness, and moderate acidity. Light oak treatment completes what is a strong showing.

Fruity. Butterscotch and oak are prominent. More oaky than I like. Needs to be brighter. Late palate is a bit unpleasant.
