Ripe pear, lemon zest, biscuit, wet wool. Really lovely balance of flavor and texture here, the high acidity balanced by the creamy biscuit and wooly notes. Coarse mousse, but much more fine on the palate. Medium - length. More depth and complexity than a lot of champagne I've had.

The theme was Chenin Blanc and Northern Rhone. (Applewood): Hmmm never smelled this in a Chenin before…Purina Cat Chow and canned tuna that never really blows off. Unfortunately, it carries on the palate as well, though not as strongly as it shows on the nose. There is some minerality and the mouthfeel is surprisingly pleasant, but the flavors just aren't all that pleasant. That said, it is perhaps a touch more drinkable than I'm making it sound, but that's not saying much. C-/D+.

Exceptional good for the price. Dry, high acid, nice fruit, well balanced. Combines with prosciutto like a dream! Chenin blanc 🧡
