Fairly golden color. Some oxidation, burnt orange on the nose. You can still detect honeysuckle. The palate was a mix of fruit and mild oxidation, but the mid-palate and finish were short. This had been stored properly, so guess it was just a year or so past prime. DRINK UP!

Spouse and I shared this while relaxing overlooking the Oregon coast. Absolutely no complaints but the wine was a little simple orchids, honey and quince.

Strong green apple and pear flavors with chalky minerality. Nice honey flavors and hints of golden raisins, but the fruit feels a bit old to me. I wonder if I would have liked this a little bit better when it was younger—even the acid seemed a bit tired to me? I found it to be a bit brighter in the Zalto White wine glass compared to the Riedel Loire glass. It was very pleasant and had all the appropriate characteristics for a Loire Chenin Blanc, but, to me, not profound and it lacked pop. Good match with the Mushroom and herb salad from Goldstein’s Daring Parings.

Showing some age but still holding together pretty well.
Same deep yellow color and bright fruit with good acidity. Folks really liked this wine
