I got punked when this wine through its dumb period. I loved it when it was young and fortunately acquired multiple cases, seemed like a sure thing. Over the last few years I thought maybe my tastes were changing and I did not like Chenin Blanc any more... a little flat, maybe oxidized, bitter, like a musty laundry bag. Was thinking of getting rid of what I had left. God bless procrastination. This has come back; super mineral, hints of pineapple (there is a hint of bitterness in pineapple but not a bad thing), tart apple; and like it was younger- a finish that just goes on and on.
Classic Vouvray from a great vintage. totally delicious now but will thrive for many years. Great length, acidity, mineral and citrus. glad I have 9 more to try over a decade.

From magnum. First day 88-89. Second day much brighter, long finish, delicious vouvray. Great with smoked salmon.
