Technically sound and classic in style, though it doesn’t quite deliver the excitement one might expect from this famed vineyard. On the nose, aromas of red and black fruits, violets, forest floor, earthy tones, subtle spice, and a touch of meaty savoriness. Mid-weight and silky on the palate, with an underlying stoniness. Elegant and admittedly enjoyable, but it honestly doesn’t fully showcase the pedigree of its origin, which aligns with my broader experience of this producer’s wines. — 15 hours ago

Drinking great even though it is so young at the moment. Hibiscus, raspberry, tea leaves. — 4 months ago

Brilliant. It’s faded and lost its way. But I love it. You won’t. Unless you understand what it’s like to have too old chenin that is of the highest caliber. Is it easy drinking? It’s not. Do I love it? I do. 2002 — 4 months ago

Somewhat riper than expected but still fresh and racy, crystalline acidity with tropical fruit, honeysuckle, bruised apple, petrol and cheese rind notes adding interest. And the color is stunning — a month ago

I thought this was much better than the pro reviews suggest. It isn’t the most complex or interesting but fruit and tannins in a great place. Round and delicious. I think a crowd pleaser. — 4 months ago
