This is the Skybout. Hopefully, Delectable fixes. They didn't have this wine yet. The wine spent 11 in months new & used oak. I think about 15-20% new. On the nose, lemon, lime, green apple, green melon, vanilla and white & yellow flowers. Fruits on the palate are the same as the palate. Spice, soft minerals & chalkiness. Finishes with stronger spice than the nose, high acidity, nice minerals, clove, nutmeg and citrus blossoms.
