  The best bottle of this vintage that I've had. Age seems to be firming it up and focusing it a bit. It's always had plenty of fruit, but now it's showing more mineral structure and floral elements. I'm really curious what another year or two will bring, although it's quite good now.

  Yvonne is what I would call a "summer wine". But I could not resist the temptation (in late February). Pure sunshine in a glass, with a wiff of lemon zest and hints of Canary melon, more or less the same on the palate, with the addition of almonds. Slightly mineral and lots of acidity, but a smooth wine, overall.
  
  Personally I would have preferred that it had more body weight. I don't think it will gain in that regard. Over time, a little perphaps. I can't wait to try (two) South African chenin blancs - for comparison - sometime during the summer.

  Yvonne est ce que j'appellerais "un vin d'été". Mais je n'ai pas pu résister à la tentation (en fin février). Du pur soleil dans un verre, avec un parfum de zeste de citron et des notes de melon des Canaries, plus ou moins la même chose en bouche, avec l'ajout d'amandes. Légèrement minéral et beaucoup d'acidité, mais un vin souple dans l'ensemble.
  
  Personnellement, j'aurais préféré qu'il ait plus de poids, qu'il soit plus charnus. Je ne pense pas qu'il y gagnera à cet égard. Un peu peut-être, avec le temps. J'ai hâte d'essayer des (deux) chenin blancs sud-africains que j'ai - à titre de comparaison - au cours de l'été.

  Medium intensity and lemon color.
  Nose- medium + intensity, and primary aromas of green fruit, citrus, stone fruit. Secondary aromas from. lees and malolactic fermentation primarily. All well integrated.
  High acidity and medium intensity and body. Long finish! Flavors of the palete similar to the nose. This is I high quality wine that will improve with aging as well!
