  Still drinking wonderfully. This might last for another ten easy. Definitely a sweetness to it but nice acidity still. Loaded with buttercup, white floral notes, even marmalade.

  Aged beautifully, had notes of a dessert wine but deliciously dry. Matched with Lobster in buerre blanc, fantastic.

  Floral and nicely ripe with enough structure to maintain balance. Good density. Tasty spice on finish. My last bottle, I wouldn't consider this cellarworthy beyond the next year or so.

  This is one of my favorite Chenin's from South Africa. This vintage was no exception. The balance of fruit, a touch of oak along with a few years in the bottle, help create this smooth lush wine. Had it over two days with no change in flavor or lushness.

  Not Your Average Varietal (Amy & Scott's): A small pour at a tasting. This had subdued tropical fruit on the nose and palate. The wine is rich, sweet and round. I felt the complexity here was quite nice. This is one of the better South African chenin blancs I have had.
