  Massively woolly with haunting apricot and beeswax notes. Very intense and intriguing, hard to stop sniffing. On the palate it is sweet and dense but has such an awesome acidity that it is not heavy at all. This is one of those dessert wines that is a treat to taste on its own. The intensity is very high and the finish just goes on forever. There is such vibrancy to this that you almost feel like getting younger while drinking it.

  Sort of sweet, different than expected. unlike other wines in this category. I need to drink more of this to see if I really like it, or is it just a curiosity.

  Color is apricot. On the nose: Quince, apricot, caramel and citrus. On the palate: Orange marmalade, apricot and caramel. This is incredibly good. I expected good but this is great. I bought a half case years ago and this is my first try. It is really hitting the spot for me.

  A very different style of Chenin Blanc and not like other dessert wines I;ve had.

  Another so-so experience with this wine after the 2003 a few years back. I have had the 2016 and enjoyed it, but this is just too rich and sweet without any of the needed acid cut that distinguishes Vouvray, IMO- this is closer to almost a TBA style of wine with extreme concentration and caramel fruit flavors. A few others at the table liked it more than I with the cheese course, but it wasn't anyone's favorite that evening.
  
  In the future, I think I will stick to their moelleux wines, which are excellent, cheaper, and much more balanced. Maybe this wine is better in years that aren't as brutally hot as 03/15?
