Straw colored. On the nose, quince, dry grass and an oddly pleasant petro-chemical smell that seemed to rise and fade and return over time. In the mouth, this drinks like a wine with interesting parts that never really come together. Crisp, if indifferent, pear, an odd spice note (cumin?) and then the acid seems to throw in the towel and flee before a watery, mineral finish. Like gravel juice if there were such a thing.

Still showing fruit ripe pear fruit Light-Medium body. Slight to medium sweet. Decent balance. Pretty good for a 18yr Chenin Blanc.

Like the previous note, quince on the nose. The petroly smell seems to fade after some air. Very ripe pears and stony flavors on the finish.
