  Very mildly oxidative, intense chenin sour acidity with good precision and a hint of RS to foil the knife-like acid edge. Rather good to my taste, with air time, no problem with focus, and light on its feet. I liked this, but don't bother if you don't enjoy high-acid whites.
  
  Finished the rest of this tonight, three days later, from a sealed 375 drawn off on opening the original bottle. This is a great, great wine, if you like the style: super refined, tart, dry, tangy, intense, unique and utterly delicious. I'm converted and am adding Leroy to my annual 'buy' list. Long live the king.

  Hummm, not enjoying this nearly as much as the other vintage I had of it - it doesn't feel very focused and the flavors are so intensely apply that it tastes more like apple wine than grape wine.
