  Young, but excellent; classic Chenin earthy notes and wool, orchard fruits, honeysuckle, lifted floral notes. Super tasty and fresh.

  Nose: Quince, apple peel, flowers, dried mint.
  Palate: Bruised apple, membrillate, honey, kombu, lemon juice. Salty. Light grip. Very high acidity balances the sugar. Acid scalds my tongue like eating too much pineapple. Finish is savory and goes on and on.

  Very excellent wine right now, but will probably be better in a few years. Nice fruit that showed up on the second day.

  Nose: a panoply of apple (bruised apples, apple skins, apple sauce, apple pie filling complete w/ cinnamon), faint butterscotch or burnt honey.
  
  Palate: waxy citrus confit; unctuous attack but a clipped finish (yet the pith/chalk impression lingers as a grip after the flavors quickly vanish). There is also a deep but tightly-wound salty-sweet component, like salted caramel, as a backbone.
  
  Having read so much about this producer and vineyard, and given what I paid for this bottle, I'm left wanting. Solid and intriguing wine for sure, by my personal dollars and attention are perhaps better spent elsewhere.
  
  Probably just way too young to capture the magic?
  
  Edit: an hour or so later -- starting to show like a top Norman cider but with near-infinite complexity... okay, now we're talking. Happy to be proven wrong.

  Connie's. Pale gold with sweet honeysuckle nose and honeydew melon, apple and orange on the palate. We debated whether the RS was more than usual or the acidity not simply enough for balance, but then 'balance' was subjective depending on one's appetite for sweetness.
