Chenin Fest: 28 Loire Chenin Blancs from 1995 - 1997. (Don Rice's.): Pineapple and oak aromas dominate the nose. On the palate, the wine has absorbed much of the oak, but it's presence is still felt. Sweet, yet nicely balanced. There's a nice creaminess on the palate where pineapple, pear, mineral and vanilla flavors abound. Showing youthfully, so no need to drink up anytime soon. Nice wine, but it could do without the oak. A-.
