  Honey, hay, nuts, stone fruits and honey. Lovely oily mouth feel. Ripe apples and honey balanced with acidity.
  Distinctive and long.

  A bit challenging on the nose here. There is quite a bit of honey, chestnut, and quince, but also an overwhelming note of musty basement, low tide sea funk, and mushroom (not in a bretty or cork taint way). The musty basement and low tide notes carry into the palate which is also full of hints of botrytis, honey, apples, and nuts. Very interesting, but not particularly delicious or good with food. I'll let this one age a bit more before opening again (this was one of two bottles that I purchased). I still like it though.

  Became more charming with a few hours of oxygen but not much of the waxiness or complexity I'm looking for with 14 Saumur Chenin.

  Jaune or pale, très brillant.
  Au nez, herbes fraiches, caramel au beurre, un touche de salinité.
  En bouche, attaque en douceur, gras, petits cailloux mouillés, petite touche saline, acidité moyenne, petite touche d'astringence en fin de bouche qui ajoute en complexité, longueur moyenne à longue. Beau Chenin. Gagnera avec le temps.

  Wine & Spirits Top 100 Tasting (City Walk @ Metreon, San Francisco, CA): Some minerality, freshness, less richness than a vouvray; palate is medium bodied but superb minerality and freshness; medium finish. Very nice. 90
