Much different than other bottles. Deep dark yellow with expected Chenin fruit but chalky minerals not so much present. Still a lovely example of a sweet Chenin that can handle aging but nowhere near the quality seen in special Uber's from Huet. But not near as scarce or as pricy. Nice to show aging effects on Loire Chenin to others.

1996 Dinner...Top Champagne, Burgundy, Bordeaux (Park Ridge Country Club): Apricot and lemon rind, coming across as both sweet and bitter with good depth.

In the bouquet honey and Tutti Frutti. On the palate honey, caramel and cane sugar. Mature wine, but with Tiramisu still a great pleasure.

Dark amber. Notes of honey, marmalade, and as others have said boytritus. Hints of secondary woody notes. Still alive but nothing to go nuts about.

He corked bottle had the bitterness making this pretty much undrinkable. Such a waste of a good wine.
