La robe du vin est or pâle brillant, c'est prometteur. Il émane un envoutant parfum de cire d'abeille, de poires confites, de pomme trempé dans le sucre, avec des effluves minéral salin ainsi qu'une pointe d'amande verte. La bouche est d'une profondeur et d'une densité rarement atteinte pour le prix payé à l'époque (32$ CAD). C'est le parfait équilibre entre la tension et le gras. Termine sur une longue finale portée par de fins amers qui s'étirent en paliers. Excellent.

Really excellent complexity as it ages. The feinherb off-dry balance and chenin structure is remarkable. Also an extremely versatile pairing wine. Have bought more to cellar.

From Coravin. Consistent with previous notes, some development since last year; still evolving, should be ready in a year or two. Waiting for more tertiary aromas. Huet Vouvrays could live a very long time. This would easily last another decade, probably much more if stored in optimal conditions.

No formal notes. Very balanced overall. Baked apples, tropical fruits, rocky minerality and sunkissed lemons. Sophisticated and elegant expression, despite being pretty packed with fruit. Good acidity, balanced and far from racing. Old school Chenin without obvious faults, perhaps lacks some personality because of it. Great value at the time though.

Excellent! Notes consistent with those earlier. As the matures it is gaining in complexity and nuance. Drinking well now but can age a while longer.
