Chilled, popped and poured. Very aromatic nose of flinty tropical fruit. Ever so waxy mouthfeel with lots of minerality and fresh tropical fruit. Not at all heavy, oaky or sweet, very much on the steely side. Blind I would definitely have called this as a cool Sauvignon Blanc rather than a Chenin. Better than a year ago, more giving and full bodied.

Maybe too young? Definitely very dry. Fresh flavor of lemon/lime, but acid toned down relative to sauvignon blanc - I like that. The finish was clean and crisp, but lacked the light lemon rind bitterness that I have associated with the best chenin blancs that I have had.
Definitely not bad, but not looking to drink more.

Not the same as the old vine from years past, but still damn tasty.

Fresh and rounded lemon, peach, and honeysuckle. Very good acidity balance. Great with a wide range of food parings and lively on its own.
