Beautiful wine. Consistent with previous note. Cork in pristine condition. No discernible deterioration to the wine since last sampled, it remains a good colour, vivid and alive on nose and palate. Paired well with cold York ham and green beans.

From memory. Drank quite cold with no decant. Opened up with air to show attractive Chenin characteristics on the expressive palate. Green apples, wet wool. Honey and roasted lemons, hazelnuts. Nose a little muted in comparison. Round in the mouth at first, giving m way to a distinctively salty clasp.and a persistent dry finish. Really enjoyable.

Reticent nose. This still feels tight on the palate and more towards the black currant leaf rather than berry fruit end of the spectrum. Some dark chocolate. Grainy tannin, initially dry but smoother a little with air. On this showing, definitely requires food, and more time in the bottle.
