  Stunning wine that improved over 12 hours. textural, with fantastic tannin structure, honey, mineral amber and sandalwood. none of the frivolous golden raisins or white blossoms of vouvray, this is powerful chenin, in the hands of a master

  Clear, pale gold in colour.
  Clean nose, pronounced aromas of baked yellow orchard fruits (apple, pear, quince), oak (vanilla, smoke), wet wool, honey, walnuts. The wine is fully developed.
  The palate is dry with high acidity, medium (+) alcohol (14%), full body, pronounced flavours similar to the nose, with quince dominating, medium (+) finish.
  The wine is very good quality, but I suspect will be too much an oxidative style for many palates. It is fully developed and should be drunk now, it is not suitable for further ageing. Personally I love this but it is probably an acquired taste. This is why I've marked it down a bit compared to other vintages I've had of this wine.

  Unfortunately, it's over the hill. Good honey but very strong oxidation. Aroma aldehydes

  I have a personal crush on this wine as it’s all umami-like in my mouth. Little hot on the nose but outstanding elements of Meyer lemon, under-ripe honeydew, tart cumquat and screams of wet wool and lanolin. Bruised apple and bruised pear, honey and I love that combination with the wet wool from chenin blanc. Touch of roundness on the finish (slightly sweet – maybe a little residual sugar) but still a very much 100% dry wine. Drank this along side Dijon roasted chicken and acid profile (high) cut right through. Delicious. Will find more of this.

  Quite nice. Bright sweet & sour kumquat meets some deftly integrated custardy oak. Good intensity of flavor. Richly textured but also bright and refreshing. Just barely off dry, with excellent acidity. Some salinity, and a savory element. Good depth and complexity, good length, tasty stuff.
