April 8, 2023 - Opened to drink at Oinoscent during service. The bottle came straight from the winery for us.

The wine shows high intensity, rubber notes, still austere, there is a Tyrrell's Vat 1 connection, here with its smoky character
In the palate, the wine shows the same nutty/smoky/rubbery profile, citrus, still fresh and vibrant, high acidity, light body, long finish
Brilliant and very interesting. -

July 26, 2020 - A blend of Chenin Blanc (56%), Sémillon (37%) and Sauvignon Blanc (9%). 13% alcohol, 1,6 g/l residual sugar, 5,8 g/l acidity and pH 3,40).
Medium-deep yellow-green color. At first slightly weird and somewhat cheesy nose what opens up into something slightly less weird: aromas of chopped nuts, some sweet tropical fruits, light woody tones, a little bit of fried napa cabbage and a hint of wet wool. The wine is broad, full-bodied and rather evolved on the palate with flavors of ripe and juicy red apples, some spicy wood notes, a little bit of tropical fruit, light oaky notes of creaminess, molten butter and sawdust, a hint of goat cheese and a touch of asparagus. The medium-plus acidity feels moderately high, although the rich body could use some more. The medium-long finish is juicy and quite sweet-toned with flavors of pineapple, some toasty oak spice, light creamy tones, a little bit of savory wood, a hint of spicy red apple and a touch of goat cheese.
A quite enjoyable, aged South African white. However, I'm not sure whether it is the style, or just the age doing its tricks, but this felt a bit too "new world" for my taste: a bit too heavy, acidity on a bit too modest side and the oaky tones still somewhat on the fore. A decent and characterful effort, but nothing that would make me swoon. Great value at 16,80€, however.
