Bright yellow gold. Bright apricot aromas Clearly off dry natural styled wine Waxy, bright acidity full bodied chenin. This is absolutely delicious and seems like it should last for decades.

Casual lunch: Person who brought it opened the night before. Didn’t expect to like this but I did - less natty and sherry-like than older vintages that I’ve tried before (at least it wasn’t deep golden in colour), some nail polish that blew off. Ripe and hedonistic; 15% alcohol showed but wasn’t overbearing. Superb tension and acidity. Perhaps like a well-made white Amarone?

Nail polish and vinegar. Put this down to being oxidized and sinked it. Now reading some of the comments below around apple cider and tarty notes I wonder if this was just style? But then others find more fresh, citric and floral features? I am confused.

Blind. Somewhat easy with the signature lime flinty reductive characters, decent acidity showing ripeness, tight, large. 93+

First time drinking this producer. Very special and signature aroma, but I like it. With good structure.
