Fairly rich nose with golden apple, lemon, some green apple in the back, and a little bit of honeysuckle before sliding in the barrel notes and a really pleasant kind of plump roundness. The palate is crisp and just a little touch sharp in a way I'm really into right now, there's a depth and a richness here as well but no creaminess to amplify it, instead there's more focused fruit with underripe pineapple, golden and green apple, pithy lemon, and white flowers. There's a depth and a breadth here that for this price you really don't tend to get, and while there's no butter to back up the oak that's there, it's honestly just that much better of a wine to have with some food, but definitely it's got the chops just to be a chugger by the pool if you're so inclined. It's like a choose your own adventure book, but it's a bottle of wine and you already know the ending.
