  -- popped and poured --
  -- tasted non-blind over 2 - 3 hrs. --
  
  NOSE: initially expressive, but less so after a couple hours open; natty; a touch oxidized; cidery; has a funky/natty/light tanned leather aspect that I don't like.
  
  BODY: pale green-yellow color; medium bodied.
  
  TASTE: medium acidity; actually not funky on the palate; strong papaya note; fuzzy metallic mineral; pretty flat / one note; a bit heavy at 14% abv.; squash; a bit wooly; opposite of the zippy high-acid style. Not a fan.
  
  50, 5, 9, 13, 5 = 82

  A decent bottle of chenin, but not my style. This is on the richer lanolin side of things, although with good acidity. I prefer the more reduced, more tension style of chenin.
