  March 3, 2017 - Clear, fresh, smoky minerality, more salt and menthol than fruit in the forefront. Milky/chalky notes that might remind of oak but the wine is unoaked.

  February 5, 2017 - Very pale. Recent purchase. Sufficient fruit and depth for high acidity. Medium bodied. Good length. Classic dry Chenin Blanc. Still young. Last many years.

  December 6, 2016 - Unfortunately never saw the full potential here. This was left open for an hour before serving, and then consumed over another 1.5 hours. I felt it was pretty bland overall and not as high-acid as I expected/wanted. A lot of pear and green-apple aromas but not much else. The palate felt oily, a little flabby and a bit nondescript in flavour overall. It only really opened up when there was about a mouthful left in the last glass. A bit of cut grass, orange zest and almost-volatile citrus fruit aromas started to peek through the curtains, but the palate was still a little unbalanced and lacking in flavour and interest for me. I should have decanted it.
