10/5/2022 - mmblz wrote: 88 pointsOn the nose - I've had Chenin that hints at wet wool - this one screams it so loudly I'm not sure I get much else. A touch of apple and lemon if I search. On the palate, lemon, lime, apple, wet rock, but still lanolin/wool. That leaves the question of whether this curious flavor is one I can enjoy - I love tar in Barolos, and petrol in rieslings is interesting enough, but I'm just not sure I'm on board for wet wool, even if I do really like plenty of Chenin. |

9/5/2022 - mmblz wrote: 88 pointsI guess this is pleasant enough a bottle. If you think of it as a fuller bodied rose for easy drinking it's just fine. In that case though I might wish for a lower price point. Strawberry and watermelon. Similar in a way to a Cerasuolo. |
