Yellow straw with a little lime green in color. This wine has high impact aromas associated with citrus, pears and hazelnuts. The intense French oak is beginning to integrate and carry the complex fruit characters strongly forward. Intensity is the hallmark of this style.The flavors on the palate make a mouthful of fruit with again the complimentary hint of oak, layered into the densely textured finish. The fruit characters linger on and there is a strong aftertaste.Alcohol: 14.5% by volume
