  Colour: gold
  Nose: lemon, lemon peel, touch of honey, lanolin, waxy. Baked apple. White flowers, sweet spice.
  Palate: lemon, lemon peel. Honey, baked apple with sweet spice & a touch of caramel. Lanolin, waxy. White flowers. Hint of old oak. Lots of richness, with lots of fresh lemony acid. Touch of crunchy phenolics. Medium bodied, 12% alcohol. Really lovely.

  Beautiful transparent gold color. Nose or orange pith and lees and maybe some oak. Dry texture a bit nutty oily medium-full body. Nice balancing minerality and acidity on a very long finish. Really complex and interesting wine.

  Vouvray and chenin blanc tasting (Prince Sydney, 40 Hansard Street): The nose recalled to me hiking on summers days through the Snowdonia national park in Wales as a youngster…lanoline, fresh grass that is slight damp and very water lemon cordial. In the mouth the wine is juicy with citrus and fresh grass notes. Medium plus length and beautifully balanced . It’s just beginning to get broader on the palate and to show some of that bees wax texture. Very nice

  Solid but not spectacular dry Vouvray. No RS, this is truly dry and unoaked. Straw gold color, pure, brilliant, young. Muted fruit on the nose with a chalky minerality, wool, very light greenish white-fruit aromas. The acidity is harmonious and gives lift and length. Chenin has a broadness on the palate. There is some fatness to the fruit, but the fruit is light. Not very complex on fruit aromas, but the acidity, minerality, and fatness on the palate carry on for a bit (a good thing). A solid, different wine by the glass, but I wouldn't buy it at full price. Better examples exist.

  Smoked bacon, mineral - wet stone, slight lemon and orange (almost botrytis) notes. Dry, clean, but not super crisp, glycerol and textured mid palate. Medium minus intensity flavours of lemon, wet stone and botrytised orange. Nice
