-- popped and poured -- -- tasted non-blind over a couple hours --
NOSE: rich fruit; hint of fennel bulb.
BODY: rich, maize color; medium bodied.
TASTE: a bit watery/tight --- I was expecting a lot more, based on the Nose --- maybe this just needs air?; medium acidity; didn't unfurl over the course of a couple hours; lacks tension/energy. Solid-but-uninspiring, although perhaps this just needs time. Gut impression score: mid 80s.

With age (and a decant), this has become a stunning Chenin. Nice minerality and punchy acidity rounded by honey and graham cracker notes.

Beautiful deep gold. Another Samur blanc with classic chenin aromatics and a palate buzzing energy and vibrancy. Awesome
