Aromas: Pineapple, pears, maybe lychee. Flavors: Initially citrusy, but time in glass smoothed it out. Unripe apples and pears. Maybe lychees. Some grassiness and pineapple on the finish. Not too bad, but I've had more enjoyable Chenin Blanc. Good for the price I guess.
Overall: I enjoy this, but can't see the 88 I gave it last time. Perhaps I'm being more critical, or perhaps the wine is on the decline.

Muted nose. A little (LITTLE) citrus up front with nice pear, apple, and melon on the mid palate and hint of pineapple on the finish. Nice wine. An easy drinker and great QPR.

color: pale straw with greenish hue nose: melon, apple and lime with a hint of honey. medium bodied with nice weight and a full, round mothfeel. Fairly fleshy, but firming up nicely ad showing good acidity in a long balanced finish revealing lime zest and gingersnaps. Very nice wine and excellent value.

A decent and cheap bottle but I just don' t like (dry) chenin. This has convinced me.
