À point with perhaps another year ahead of it at this level. Breathed in bottle for 30 minutes - serve at cellar temperature (c.9-10C) so as to enjoy the full effect. Peach, pear and minerality; some viscosity but finishing dry and good race and length. Accompanied my ham hock and root veg cooked in white wine to perfection. My last.

A superb Chenin with peachy/nectarine aromas and flavours with the balance provided by an assertive backbone of saline minerality. Ripe fruit with some real viscosity yet finishing dry. Full with good length. Excellent showing of this for food wine, drinking perfectly now, but should hold up for a few years yet.

Charity dinner for Macmillan's. Decanted and tasted blind as part of the quiz element of the evening - no-one got close! Limited notes. Peachy fruit driven wine driven with with fresh pectic and mineral backbone. Fine concentration and notably "clean". Will give a more considered (sober) view with my next bottle, but should have at least another 5+ years life?/development ahead.

Aromas and flavors of nuts and white fruit. Very tight now and needs another two years to blossom. Great food wine that can be versatile with many dishes.

Despite a touch of cork, still a fascinating and delicous wine.
