Crushed chalk on the nose. On the palate, I keep searching for the right fruit and descriptor, it's just right there, but I'm just not good enough to unlock it. All I can say is it's a mixture of preserved lemons (and the salinity that comes with that), a drop of pineapple and, bizarrely, a drop of Muscadine grape and the rubber pool toy vibe that gives. But since the last Chenin I had from Pax, the Lyman one, was probably heat damaged, I'm a little weary of the flavors in this and wondering if there's a hint of that in this that's clouding the picture? In any case, I like it, but not trusting it's the expression intended.
