Served blind. White fruits and some minerality on the nose after 30 minutes. Very youthful, medium bodied with great acidity. Clean white fruits and good minerality with a medium plus finish. My friend guessed 2015 bordeaux and based on this bottle this could improve for years. 92 points

in a solid place right now. perfect with seared 5 spice scallops. Do decant for a short time and let the Chenin work the magic. Love the acidity on this. Finished clean.

This bottle showed much more signs of ageing than I expected, but what a wonderful place it had arrived at. Almond, lanoline, nectarine all mixed together, some minerality on the finish. Cellared since purchase in 2008.

Dark yellow. Consistent with previous notes - some tropical fruit notes, set against an oak inflected, mineral backdrop. Good acidity, medium body, medium final.

Imperial Paragon Wine Night + Promontory!: Yellow fruits, wet stones, minerals. This is still youthful and the tertiaries have not quite presented themselves. Ok to open now but should improve with more time. 91/92
