  9/16/2011 - Tim Heaton Likes this wine:

  PnP served blind. Consistent with prior experiences, this maintains a bit of an off-putting lanolin aroma, but after 10 minutes in the glass, it works for and not against it by adding another layer of complexity that no longer overwhelms the experience. Chalky, with lots of spice and bruised orchard fruit flavors, each sip is better than the previous. Marvelously complex, this Chenin is absolutely at peak right now and mind-blowing for under $15. Even though this doesn't have significant age on it, it's still a good example of why we need to have some patience with certain bottles in the cellar, even the less expensive ones. Recommended, 13,0% abv, drink thru 2014.

  I'm not going to score it as I think there was some bottle variation here. I really couldn't get past a lanolin character on the nose that kept me from enjoying this as I should have. I've had this bottling at least a half dozen times, and have found it to be reliably consistent and enjoyable. Some peach, chalk and minerals come through on the palate, but the wine seemed a bit off this night. Still, it showed enough acidity and fruit to pair pretty well with a roasted butternut squash with curry and ginger.
