On the nose - I've had Chenin that hints at wet wool - this one screams it so loudly I'm not sure I get much else. A touch of apple and lemon if I search. On the palate, lemon, lime, apple, wet rock, but still lanolin/wool. That leaves the question of whether this curious flavor is one I can enjoy - I love tar in Barolos, and petrol in rieslings is interesting enough, but I'm just not sure I'm on board for wet wool, even if I do really like plenty of Chenin.

On the nose - salinity, ash, dried cherry, rosemary, lilac. Palate dried cherry and blueberry. Ashy, dusty tannins. Long finish.

Really nice Riesling with characteristic petrol notes. Complex but crisp and fresh at the same time.
