Fresh, pretty and aromatic with top notes of poached apple and sliced banana, this glides easily onto the palate. Bright acidity reins in the lightly creamy midpalate with a hint of glossy-textured glycerol. A haunting, hazelnut toastiness lingers into the finish with a light nip of tannic grip. The oak is highly flattering and nicely integrated and should further melt into the well-concentrated midpalate in the coming year.
