Community Tasting Note

Sunday, April 2, 2017 - Bevan and Huet (and watching the Final Four) (Home): Of course, one always opens these with trepidation. This was a good bottle. Golden in color. How dark should a sound 15 year old Chenin be? This was a bit darker than I expected but within reason. The nose is very nice. Orange peel, salinity, a slight oxidation (normal amount at 15), and a Bit O' Honey candy bar. On the palate, this is slightly viscous. Slightly sweet. Plenty of orange rinds. Slight crushed shell note. Good acidity. Nice finish. It took me a glass to accept that this was a good bottle (I almost felt like Woody Allen trying a wine), and then this was quite enjoyable. No hurry on sound bottles.
