Dinner at Nico Osteria (Chicago, IL): Definitely something you don't see much of these days. The nose shows a bit of apricot, but also a bit of nuttiness that is more representative of the age. The palate's better than the nose, and there's that ripeness and almost a hint of botrytis that gives this wine some breadth to go along with the high acidity. Fairly complex for the level, but I'm certainly not keen on aging this any further.

(Huet Vouvray Haut-Lieu Sec) Amazingly complex nose of grilled nuts, mineral, white flowers. Compelling and layered aromas. Palate was stunning with amazing lightness of touch. Layers of nuts, white fruits and mineral. Three dimensional in the mouth. Great finish. One of the best whites from the Loire I have ever had. Who says dry Chenin won't age?

Holding together still, and somewhat interesting, but not very pleasurable.

Casual Dinner at Nico Osteria (Nico Osteria - Chicago, IL): Good but showing a bit tired and overly mature. Nice complexity, for sure, which provides interest. But this as probably better in it's youth.
