Lemon curd and grapefruit pith lead to a palate of considerable weight and intensity. Saline minerality cuts through the richness, while cedar and vanilla from barrel work add complexity. The oak feels prominent but not excessive, lending structure to concentrated citrus and stone fruit flavors. Shows Mellot's house style of power over finesse.
