oak is front and center on this high-priced affair from freixenet. and that's the primary problem with what is otherwise a commendable and solid wine. vanilla and resin aromas and flavors push the fruit to the side, and what's left is a slick of butter, sawdust and tannic astringency. not a bust, but for nearly a hundred bucks we want more than just wood. imported by freixenet usa.
