  It would have benefited from some decanting as the wine initially came out with the prototypical mushroomy and earthy character of old chenin blanc. However, I poured the wine from the rather small glass we had into a Burgundy glass. The transformation was immediate. The musty character receded and mature yellow fruit and linden infusion came to the fore. In the mouth this shows resolved fruit sweetness into something more elegant and satisfying and the acidity focuses all the delicate layering of the wine. Very far from fallen over. I would not worry about opening this in a hurry but if you do, this will be a treat. Chose your glass carefully and decant.
