Picked up as a curio at auction. Fill to top of neck so great cork. Deep orange amber colour. Kind of nothing nose who slowly opened up a bit over time but still just a whiff of something ? cinnamon. Sweet but drying at same time. In remarkable nick for a 48 year old wine, could have passed for a 20 year old. Thickish, somewhat unctious and very smooth. Tasted like a mid to top end mature Sauterne but with the structure that Loire chenin gives. Thuis was a lot of fun to open and taste.

Rhubarb and charcoal on the nose. Quite dense and concentrated. Tertiary fruit characters from the nose but with a green herbal twist. Slightly unusual profile. Very smooth. Medium bodied - a food wine.

Deep yellow. Very mature. quite a throwback to older versions of chardy with complex full flavour - no Chablis here. Lacking anything thast scales the heights, reasonable mid week drinking
