  Retail $120(?). 100% Chenin Blanc. A legend. A straight-out baller from the Loire Valley. Golden in the glass, even amber, with not much fruit and tons of nuttiness. No one I have ever met has a neutral opinion of Nicolas Joly and I will not pretend that I do now: he was a genious. Fruit (subdued), acidity (vibrant), and loaded with secondary and tertiary flavors and aromas. Whoa.

  Deep straw in color with an orange hue. Nose of ginger, honey, and ripe apricot. Intriguing tastes of apple cider, tangerines, figs, autumnal spices, and hints of lanolin and honey. Well balanced wine with nice viscosity and mouthfeel. My 5th and final bottle of this vintage and is drinking well and better integrated than when younger. Despite an oxidative character this wine has at least another 4-8 of pleasurable drinking life.

  Oj, nästan orange i färgen men inte oxiderat, bara koncentrerat. Maffig doft av mandelmassa, vinteräpplen, en aning aprikos, honung och lite citrusskal. Det känns väldigt sött, som att sticka in näsan på ett kondis men smaken är snustorr. Totalläckert.
  Skrev att vinet nog var på topp och borde drickas rätt snart när jag testade 2006:an för fyra år sedan. Snicksnack, inser man nu. Verkar odödligt. Måste skaffa mer.

  Wow. It has been a while. Seven years? Yikes. Still amazing despite the amber color, it has a nose of lanolin, honey, and white flower. Whoa. The palate is tart and full of secondary and tertiary qualities. Whoa. Tart, acidic, retrospective, deep. Yowza. thedrunkencyclist.com
