Wow medium yellow and complex nutty earthy ripe orange spicy notes carrying through to bracing acidity and firm texture then long finish. No sign of oxidation from previous notes and giving it higher ratings. — 8 months ago

What is it about excellent Loire Chenin that just really really does it for me? Waxy, honeyed, gorgeous wine. — 3 years ago
100% Chenin, sur la rive de la Loire, un vin tendu qui semble plein d'énergie et de potentiel. Impressionnant quand même et qui semble fait pour la garde. On goûte le chêne utilisé pour son vieillissement, ce qui arrondit la texture. Un grand vin pour de garde? Ce vin a été ouvert dans mon réfrigérateur pendant une semaine - je l'ai dégusté pendant plusieurs jours et il s'est amélioré, signe d'un grand potentiel, mais c'est déjà une très belle expérience maintenant, — 6 years ago
Slightly oxidized, nutty, apple Jolly Rancher goodness. Has that great resiny tonguefeel and acidity of dry Loires built for aging. Developing pretty intense secondary characteristics for a 2013 vintage, wow! — 8 years ago
Amazing freshness with the 20+ age, spicy nose, pure minerality.
Hints of beeswax, shy quince, salty rocks, the purity here is just insane.
On the palate this hits with brilliant acidity (not far from Fino!), paired with spicy minerality and barely a hint of apples sprinkled with fleur de sel. Great depth and amazing electric tension.
This is brilliant! I am blown away. Wowza! — 8 months ago
Medium lemon yellow. The nose is med+ and rises easily from the glass with fresh notes of mineral stones, lanolin, salinity, and mixed fresh orchard fruits. The palate is med/med+ bodied, with mouthwatering and perfectly integrated acidity. The flavors cascade over the palate with energy and depth into a long, persistent finish. — 2 years ago

2022. Our sommelier knew that we have enjoyed several different Chenin Blanc wines with the food at The Oven and poured me a taste of this wine from an opened bottle. Beautiful aromas of apple/apple cider/blossoms. High acidity and medium body. — 3 months ago
