An epicyclic gear train for a turbine engine includes a gutter with an annular channel. A rotating structure includes a ring gear. The rotating structure has an aperture that is axially aligned with the annular channel. Axially spaced apart walls extend radially outward relative to the rotating structure to define a passageway. The passageway is arranged radially between the aperture and the annular channel. The walls are configured to inhibit an axial flow of an oil passing from the aperture toward the annular channel.
