Fresh tarragon and a whiff of sawdust on the nose. Oak fermented, but the oak influence is not over the top (even if I consider it unwelcome). Piercing acids which lack harmony, tight and lemony, but with a bit of support from the oak – which adds some creaminess to the texture.

Feels like it needs time for the wood to better integrate. The acidity feels out of balance, the wine lacks harmony right now.

Slick but not ready.
