  Drank at Uncle Ned's OBTN, supplied by Mandy. Yellowish-gold in color. Nose of honey, peaches and quince. Fairly unctuous in weight but not fat or clunky, with exuberant amount of honey, apricot, quince & fig. Solid acidic core, great complexity & richness, and not too sweet. In fact, I'd call this off-dry. Loved this bottle!

  Wow! First of 12 wines served blind by our host Ken K tonight.....
  
  Dark gold in the glass, oxidized nose.
  
  Palate of sweet oak with a decidedly saline back palate. The perfect balance between salty and sweet. This was one of my wines of the night. I have never been the beneficiary of an old sweet Chenin like this before! It completely confused me.....

  Opened and poured. Deep yellow. Clean, unbotrytized orchard fruit. Medium body, not that glycerine for Chenin Blanc, and almost off dry rather than exceedingly sweet. Moelleux style wine, more rich than dessert level sweet. Reserved but excellent. I look forward to following this over the next 2 nights.
  
  More liquoreux and high toned after being recorked overnight. Now more of a true dessert wine.

  Wow, bottle 2 was absurdly better than bottle 1 two months ago. The acid was perfect on this one balancing the richness, raisin, dried apricot, and big caramel. Beautiful; I get it now.
