Russet apples and honey aromas. The structure is going on this now and if you have any you should definitely drink up as the previous precision and detailing are disappearing.

Tight and brilliantly concentrated. This is still very young with lots of appealing red apple character. Years ahead will be interesting to monitor this as any added weight should bring the score up.

Racy, zippy acidity with a profound mineral streak atop great Chenin fruit. Quite dry in character, it had enough palate presence to pair really well with a selection of Thai food that we were trying it with.

Absurdly good. Lean and precise but full of Chenin flavor and complexity, and yes, minerals. Almost makes me stop longing for Saumon's Menu Pineau.

Lovely bottle. Complex kaleidoscopic nose of golden chenin fruits, chalk, great dry extract and near perfect acidity.
This guy makes good wine.
