From magum. Way better than the bottle I had a few years ago.
Did not take any notes but this bottle showed signs of maturity still with many years of further improvements.

2022 Botanica Chenin Blanc Mary Delany Collection

Exotic, fruit-dominated on the nose with clementine, oranges, provencials herbs, lime juice and green tea. Secound pour also gave some fresh strawberries.
On the palate the wine has an incredible body with citrus fruit (clementine and lime) playing a significant role. There is a shy spiciness lurking in the background (cajun?) accompanied by balancing acid. Some stems notes as well.
A rather complex and full bodied Chenic Blanc that focuses more on fruit than acidity. Not sure if this is vintage related (warm and challenging) or the style of the producer since I never tried this producers wines before. Overall this is again an example of why I almost only seek out these small South African producers. QPR is insane.

2021 Alheit Vineyards Chenin Blanc Hereafter Here

Brilliant nose that opens up real nice after 30 min. Pears, stone smoke, white orchard fruit, salvia and cooked shell fish.
Slim and tight on the palate with good fruit and fine, lemon juice acid. Already enjoyable but will gain complexity over time.
Very good QPR and should rival all Chablis wines in this price range.
