April 12, 2024 - Very ripe with quite a bit of botrytis and way too much oak. Chenin wasn't really recognisable. Bad QPR.

March 26, 2023 - Heater week; 3/26/2023-4/3/2023 (Chicago, IL): A huge disappointment -- fat and oily, with unclean botrytis(?) or some other sort of rot leading this to have unpleasant mushroomy notes. Furry as chenin can be, but in a slightly off-putting, dirty way. Some oxidation issues here as well.

September 29, 2022 - Very unique and better with time but not my favorite. Oxidized Sherry style with moderate to heavy oak. Some acidity but not getting the freshness of fruit I hoped for. Needs time though.
