Golden appearance with a good whiff of mango, peach, and some sweet vanillin oak. The oak sucks me right in and the back label reveals the wine sits in one year old French (14% abv).
A generous palate of fruit - the mango comes back at you gently and a hit of grapefruit evident, as are the stone fruits. The package is wrapped up nicely by the oak - thanks very much barrel ferment! Long persistent finish.
If oak ain't your thing, this isn't what you are after. But then again, the oak is not overpowering either.
I liked it!
