  Blind tasting for my guest. Superb orange mature hue. Nose logically oxydised, lemony, crusched rhubarb, with full exotic and iodin flavours, as a reisling VT. Mouth straight, mineral, lively, franc quinine bitterness, reducted roots, finshing on shy brown honey notes. A complex and mature wine, witch balance is more on bitter. Clearly printed by a poor vintage. An old experienced wine who has still plenty to show even if his best window has passed.

  A l’aveugle (pat)
  Il sentait le chenin evolué, le coing, les epices, et sa couleur dorée le placait dans la décennie précédente ! En bouche, il était un peu monolithique mais présentait une belle tension, de la richesse, semblant ainsi ambivalent, a la fois jeune et mature; peut-etre un signe du millésime 2013 souvent compliqué dans bon nombre de régions françaises.
  Tres belle finale saline a souhait, salivante.

  Chenin, quite oxidative in style, but Nicolas Joly seems so far away from this...
