Loire & Friends Chenin Dinner (Table du Marché): A very generous treat left by a local resident who wasn't able to join for dinner. This is super - my handwritten notes say "tension between minerality and fruit" - I can't remember if that was my idea or someone else's but it's spot on - great balance here. This is in a great spot - hard to know if the younger wine would follow the same path - I *think* it would, and got a few to test out the hypothesis.

Rich golden hue. Explosive nose of rich tropical fruit - luscious and unashamedly voluptuous. Wow this is good. Depth, power, richness and boundless energy. Hedonistic and sensual but serious and displaying all the characteristics of ambition: it's saying "I mean business." The winemaker understands and reveres both the grape and the terroir. I love how this is ageing. It's outstanding. More please.

Thick, smooth, delicious chenin, somewhat sweet, ultra rich - too sweet to accompany roast chicken
