Great wine for the price. Golden color that looks like a relative young sauterne. Clear honeysuckle sweetness that's similar to late harvest, yet lots of acidity to balance it out for a med+ length finish. Throw in some minerals & smokiness like a chardonnay, and you got an interesting wine (for the price). Enjoyed it over 2 days. Probably got several years left at minimum. Love to try again, can't understand the low ratings given

Interesting taste, full-bodied and has some qualities I like a lot, but on the harsh side. Too acidic. Not smooth. Not a wine I'd choose again. **Note: I don't know Chenin Blanc very well so I might be judging the style as opposed to this wine.
Interesting nose shows waxy honey, papaya, and green/sour fruits. Easy drinking and in balance, there is a nice waxy mouthfeel, while the acidity keeps it crisp.

Nose is all sour apple, lemon, and pear. More pear on the palate, with additional citrus and some tarragon, quince, and apricot. Nice broad swath of flavor, nice finish... Light medium bodied mouthfeel, nice acid, smooth once it opens. Good aperitif or light food wine. That signature flintiness a bit.. Qpr

Flat, blank canvas. No character. Unimpressed.
