A bit sharp, tons of energy. Appley Pearish fruits, loads of tartness, and minerality. A bit sharp in the texture component given the acidity and extract it does come across as a touch shrill on its own, but good with food. I worry a bit with time if this will come increasingly imbalanced but no rush

Very sadly, my final btl. In an amazing place. Still some primary fruit, but stunning nose with loads of nettle, tarragon, preserved lemon, sour apple and papaya. On the palate: fantastic acidity, lovely density, hi-toned lemon, guava, soft peach and golden apple. Wet stone and soft grapefruit on the finish. Wow.

Had a glass with dinner (tuna salad on salad) and it went nicely. Not much evolution since I last tasted this in 2020. But very enjoyable and does it’s job as a food wine.

Pale lemon colour. Medium and developing nose with ripe green apples, ripe lemon, lemon zest, wax, honey, flint and wet stone. Medium taste of ripe green apples, ripe lemon, lemon zest, honey, wax, flint, salty sea and wet stone. Long and dry finish. High acidity. Medium body. A very good Loire Chenin Blanc from a magnum bottle. Drink now or over the next ten years. Goes well with fish or shellfish.

Served blind. Had put this on Chardonnay given the flavor profile, something from Santa Cruz Mountains. Little woodsy aroma, with pear, green tropicals, fennel, lime, vanilla and peach flesh. Enjoyed this.
