basically a flawed wine, too advanced to be correct for the age, golden in color and initially a dish rag odor, this went away but the wine seemed much older in texture and flavors than it's age should give. Would have called in interesting if 15 years old.

Very pure wine with a bit of weight. Great chalkiness and acidity. Wonderful food wine as expected. Very classic even in the warmer vintage...very good

Robe citron. Un nez qui annonce une richesse alcoolique, sur la pâte de fruits. L'alcool est bien présent, l'acidité moyenne, le corps également, en bouche, le fruit est bien mûr, pâtissier, c'est davantage un Chenin de soleil. Les amers sont moins agréables en finale, alors qu'une empreinte de craie donne une touche austère et sérieuse à ce 2009. Peu classique.

Bright colour; retains vibrant, floral nose; fresh, nicely weighted, delicious. Remains in its prime.

Strong colour; wet stone, pear, an exotic overtone; dry, crunchy fruit, a touch of salinity, weighty, youthful; powerful, vigorous finish.
