Solid, fairly classic Loire Chenin. Kind of a slightly baked apple note no the nose, with sine dried citrus, white tea, and maybe just a touch of honey. Other notes suggest this is a bit lean on the palate--not my impression. Thought this had nice balance, classic Chenin acidity, and good length. Some aged notes are starting to emerge (and the color definitely shows it), but overall this is still fairly fresh and likely has plenty of years ahead.

流沙包: "It's like the promise of a Belgian waffle fulfilled" (Chicago, IL): A few years ago, I liked these wines more; nowadays for my palate, they come off a little bit thin and lacking in breadth. This is fairly high acid and generally shows a little lean, with a slight bit of furry funk on the nose and palate. It's not the most approachable right now, with too much a spotlight on the acidity here.

Have tried 2015, 2016 and 2017, the best was 2015, had some mellow notes, but all wines were not up to my expectations....I wanted more.

Really enjoyed this. Light, fresh, a bit dilute but paired great with an arugula and goat cheese salad.
