Texturally this has some chardonnay characteristics, as that's the white I would usually with oak. The flavor profile is that of a robust chenin with the acid dampened a touch. It's a different style of chenin that is OK for my taste.

This is a bit of a serious wine, needs some thought and introspection to appreciate...medium yellow, nose is complex, interesting - not much overt fruit, but a lot of aromas that one might associate with Grandmas attic - varnish, old leather, dusty wool...palate is smooth, full, round, and the flavours are nutty, almond, wool, tree bark, that sort of thing. Quite interesting (more interesting than it is sounding!!), this is much more a food wine than a sipper, but intensity is good, and the length is very good. Interesting, cerebral wine.

Somehow, this just didn't come together like last time. Perhaps it was just a bad match with the wild garlic.
