Thursday, December 13, 2018 - -- popped and poured --
-- tasted non-blind over 2 - 3 hours --
-- 100% Chenin Blanc --

NOSE: expressive; strong pear, with supporting hints of hay, apple cider, and orange bitters.

BODY: medium-rich maize color; medium bodied.

TASTE: pear cider; a bit oxidative (don't know if the producer intended this); high acidity; dry; a bit tangy --- almost lambic-like; hints of watermelon Jolly Rancher, cardamom, and red apple; 13% alc. not noticeable. Complex, engaging, and moreish. Without knowing whether the oxidative nature of this bottle was intentional, I have to say I loved this; I hope the style was intentional, because I will be buying this again, and I hope for more of the same. Excellent!

50, 5, 12, 18, 8 = 93+
