The wine has a medium+ intensity of stewed apples, wet wool, lanolin and wet stones. Well defined but fairly simple and quite youthful.
On the palate the wine is sweet with high acidity, medium alcohol, medium+ body, medium+ intensity and a medium finish. Nice clean citrus flavours on the palate as well as the stewed fruits.
This is a very good quality sweet Chenin Blanc from the Loire.

Sweeter than expected and lots of said yellow fruit in the palate. Think spätlese sweet. Also a nice minerality but could use just a little more acidity. Quite enjoyable. 87pts

Mid-yellow. Quite viscous.
Smells like yellow fruit and gravel.

Drank at Plateau - Late harvest non-botrytis
Nose of smoke, rubber, sulphur, honey, sugar and lime. Not too sweet on the palate with a nice balance.

Clear, pale lemon color. Honey on the nose. Tastes sweet, high acidity, low alcohol and tannins. Balanced with a long, minerally finish.
