There is some class in this wine but its a very subtle expression and at this level I'd like to see more flesh and richness on the palate, coming across as it does very lean and linear. Its an enjoyable glass but it could easily be consumed without much afterthought. Quite short too. I have half the bottle remaining and I hope that an overnight airing might open it up a bit.

A pale straw colored wine made in the clean and crisp style of Chenin Blanc with notes of slightly unripe orchid fruit and citrus pith. Could be mistaken for a lean Chardonnay, but for a touch of bitterness and extra texture on the finish that sets it apart. Good concentration of flavor relative to the medium-light body.

👃🏼Wet Wool, quince, Almond, pear, yellow Apples, citrus
👅 Less pronounced than on the nose! Crescendo acidity - seeems flabby at first but then hits you like a train!
Would strongly reccomend to keep it in the cellar for another couple of years!
HUGE QPR!!!

Stone fruit, crisp tart apple. Not super tart and sharp, the minerality was nicely balanced against the fruit. Greatly enjoyable

Ripe, stone-fruit to bruised apple. Good cut, powerful on the palate, lots of minerality and quite smoky. Delicious, but finish is a bit abrupt.
