Great to try so recently after the 2018. Another top class bottle. Superb balance. Lots of energy and intensity. Salinity on the palate. Some citrus notes. Quite linear and focused. A little more minerality and less roundness compared to the 2017. I think I actually marginally preferred the focus on this vintage. A great bottle of Chenin Blanc.

More reserved than one I had last year. Takes til day three to get fruit on the nose, before i like to describe it as black, mineral, herbal coriander seeds, with air: camomille, grapefruit, bitter peach (peach without sweetness), On the palate: coiled up acidic tension, (on day three) camomille, mild pepper, mellow green yellow, great acidity lasting three or four smacks

Decanted 1,5 hours. Quite closed/reserved. Opened up a bit when getting warmer (at 12C) revealing typical Chenin notes in a very nice way.

Coiled up a bit, not enough fruit or energy to make this great, but it’s super crisp and clean and very enjoyable.
