Retail $35. Under cork. 100% Chenin Blanc. I purchased four bottles of this wine back in 2007. I consumed two bottles that same year (2007) but this is the first I have cracked since. Whoa. Beyond "golden" and well into "amber" with an absolutely incredible nose: baked apple, roasted walnut, a touch of petrol, and a whole lot of verve. Whoa. The palate is initially quite tart, quite tart. Then comes a healthy dose of citrus fruit, a nutty gorgeousness, and a hint of wet rock. Another whoa. The finish lasts for close to an hour. A fabulous wine. From before I knew my wife. Of over twenty years. Yeah. Yum.
Mellow aromas of lemon curd, vanilla, mandarin orange juice and some plastic/new gym shoe rubber. Palate is lightly syrupy, full bodied with pleasant sweetness, bright acidity that comes in at the end, and just a hint of tannin. Nice vanilla, marzipan, lemon custard. Also some grass and baking spice. This is really cool and has more years of good drinking in it.

Great wine, freshness and silky tones battle for first place in taste. Pairs excellent with salty blue cheeses.
