Pale, greenish white gold, fine bead; tightly wound and dry but not austere, elegant, clean, subtle citrus fruit flavours, floral, salty minerality, racy, medium weight, good length.
France, Loire Valley, Touraine, Montlouis-sur-Loire
Classic Chenin flavours with a gentle kiss of oak, with added weight and roundness from some batonnage that also adds a pleasant leesy note, medium weight, well-balanced, lovely depth, versatile, attractive.
Pale white gold, green tinge; mineral and dry style, fresh but not acidic, herbs, hint of bourbon vanilla, slightly earthy, could do with more expression and nuance; decent length.
New Zealand, North Island, Wairarapa, Martinborough
Rich colour, gold and green; rich style, creamy, slightly honeyed even but aclean, fleshy fruit balanced by mineral freshness, herbs, good typicity, slightly earthy, flavoursome but elegant, soft but no lack of freshness, very good length.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Côte de Beaune Villages
Smoky and quite rich, mature but perfectly fresh, shows ripeness and warmth, good grip but no un(der)ripeness in the tannins, attractive weight, not the most precise of wines but harmonious and satisfying, well-balanced, good flavours and length. Very good for what it is.
