  October 27, 2019 - (Mostly) Chenin Night: Wow, after seeing these notes, I guess I scored a great bottle. Stored perfectly since release, and this was so vibrant, much more so than the 2008. Brisk, bright, lime, apples, quince, with a complex, chalky, mineral, crushed shell element. Crystal clear and vibrant and not at all tired or oxidized or anything. Loved this bottle, and it got much more expressive as the night went on.

  September 29, 2013 - tiltalende og druetypisk chenin med kvann, nesle, honning, appelsin, noe "gresk" aromatisk fruktighet, sitrus og mineraler. God balanse, syrlig og trenger mat.

  August 29, 2013 - Clear with a light orange tint, slightly oxidized nose, very light sherried flavors on the palate with sharp lemon and unripe peach. Very austere and acidic, actually not too bad with food, but not sure what to make of the light oxidation which seems to be an issue looking at other reviews.

  March 23, 2013 - Blind Tasting - 2010 Loire Chenin Blanc (Weygandt Wines - Washington, DC): Tasted Blind. Aromas of grilled peach, chalk, and dried green herbs. Focused, directed tart lemon palate with tart pineapple and gravel minerals emerging on the finish. Light to medium bodied with searing acidity, this is a wine that demands food. Hold. R&M86
