Creation Wines tastery organized by Ton Overmars' liquor store (Amsterdam): A light yellow wine with peach and smoke in the nose. Elegant taste with flavors clearly present but not as forward as some of the other wines we tasted. Quite some tannins for a white, smoke and peach, taste has a long finish.

Another "South African Selection" from my buddy David White. He brought this blind to the wine shop and despite being a bit too cold to really get the varietal characteristics, it was a very nice Chenin. Richer than Loire Chenin, it had nice balance and acidity. Nice florals, subtle vanilla and banana peel with minerals and citrus on the finish. Good stuff.
