Pale gold, med (-) nose of green fruit, lees, and oak such as vanilla and toast. Palate is dry, med acidity, med body, med (-) intensity of ripe apples, and obvious oak such as butter and vanilla. A reasonable finish with popcorn-like flavors. Looking for a but more intensity and complexity (especially on the palate).
