Well i was so impressed a few weeks back that i had to try when i saw it on the list! That was a totally different bottle unfortunately, way too oxydized. Am sure the source of those 2 bottles is the same so has to do with bottle variation.

Chenin tasting at home with the gang (non blind). WOTN for most of the group (except Eli). Pronounced nose of wax, pear, quince and ripe lemon zest. Intense palate with honey and a slight oxydation at first and the blew off to make space for ripe lemons. First time trying a relatively aged chenin and loved it! Will try again if i can find

YAWG Chenin Tasting (X place): Lemon-gold appearance. Honey, wax, pear on the nose with some steel. Quite different on the palate than the nose. Fresh and precise. Ripe lemon and crushed rock flavours. Electricity and tension.

My first experience having an older vintage of this wine. And it drank beautifully. Everything well integrated, still a bit of energy. Probably at its peak.

Getting more and more oxidative and thus, much more interesting. Enamel-scraping acidity, briefly tart before sliding down the gullet on layers of ripe lime/lemon fruit, saline, glycerin, and rock. I’d love to have a couple more bottles. 5+11+17+9= 92
