Evolution from last bottle two years ago. These are the wines Francois Chidaine made on the Poniatowski estate before completing the sale and renaming it under his name. Now getting wooly, more parrafin. Sugar subsuming and moving to distant background. Roasted pear. Getting old and tertiary, and into the window for those who like the Chenin old.

Glad we decanted. Opened with 45 minutes air. Bit of funk but dusty attic. Fully mature. Further development unlikely—drink now.

Substantial concentration but still feels fresh. Fine grained, black fruits. In a great spot.
