Holding up well. The peachy citrus character remains - as does the mineral core that pulls this off-dry wine together. Excellent accompaniment for a kedgeree-style dinner dish. On this showing would expect the wine to remain good for another year or two.

Enjoyed this very much. Some chenin from South Africa can be very heavily oaked, but this were much more subtle and let the freshness of the wine come through. Went and bought 2 more.

This was delicious, you can just imagine with the wonderful acidity that this will be AMAZING in 10 years, but alas I don't have the patience unfortunately - Gold, full bodied with a nose of apple, grapefruit, lime, grass, cream and slight oak, complex, amazing acidic structure, good balance, very interesting, sour, sweet on the palate with terrific length, awesome!

Malheureusement pas de notes écrites, dégusté il y a 48 heures. Apparence: jaune assez pâle, limpide. Peu de larmes en paroi de verre. Au nez: Ouvert et complexe, souvenirs d'odeurs de foin fraîchement ensilé après une journée chaude, fruit exotique, la carambole et l'ananas. En bouche, une tenue marquée par l'équilibre, du corps qui soutien une palette de saveurs, la fraîcheur de la carambole avec la richesse de la goyave, une pointe d'acidité et une bonne longueur. Un vin riche et complexe qui allie des arômes et des saveurs typiques de plusieurs cépages. À l'aveugle, j'opterais pour un jeune Chateauneuf du Pape. Excellent rapport QP
Note: D'ailleurs je dégustais ce chenin croyant qu'il s'agissait d'un Sauvignon que je connais bien du même producteur...

Unscrewed and poured. Nose of peach and citrus peel, flavour has an added minerality with a good viscosity in the mouth. Off dry, medium length. Perhaps a couple of years at this level. Good value

A very nice change of pace from our diet of heartier reds this winter. This is a QPR hit with a nose of apples and citrus fruits mingling with a mineral note. Flavors of melon and pear are backed by a nice hit of acidity that makes this a really enjoyable wine. For the price, unbeatable.

Clear deep lemon in the glass. Clean, medium intensity nose of ripe stone fruit, waxy florals, smoke. In the mouth: Medium+ flavor intensity of apricots, very ripe peaches, pastry, florals and smokiness. Medium+ body, medium+ alcohol, medium acidity. Very slight residual sugar.

A very good reliable staple for drinking up over the next year or so.

There is a decent taste of pear and green apple. The nose is not as impressive as I imagined it would be being that it is an old vine wine.
