Clear medium gold in color. Classic Chenin nose of wet wool. High acid, citrus/green apple/Asian pear/apricot/white peaches. Lots of minerality. Opens with some time in glass and some warming to be more stone fruits. Delicious now but have another bottle to sit on for a bit longer.

Still dark ruby in color with little evidence of bricking. Somewhat muted darker red and black fruits on the nose with some spice and violet/roses/lavender elements emerging. Overwhelming impression is sweet, stewed fruits. On the palate, this wine is powerful with red and black plums, licorice, violets and roses, some brine and smoke. Medium plus acidity, medium tannins that are clearly present but soft. Medium to long finish with red and black cherry predominating and again with that floral characteristic. Even though common wisdom is to drink these wines young, I believe this still has quite a bit of life left in it. Woild not hesitate to drink now, but also think holding another year or two would be safe, if not necessarily rewarding.
