Vintage 1989 | Chenin Blanc wonder. Utterly vital, great balance!

Vintage 1984 | Deep ocher yellow, reminds me of the light of Rembrandt. Marsepan, impression of apricot. Extremely well balanced ánd vivid. Almond pit bitters in taste. Much character in this Chenin Blanc.

Vintage 1984 | Yellow gold colour. Slightly oxy in smell with dominant flint, minerals, when I close my eyes it seems I am entering a tuffeau cellar. Drinkable, merely curiosity Chenin Blanc. Day 1 No ranking. With Indian Vadouvan Biscuits. Day 2 Amazing transformation with a beautiful Bonnezeaux character. So: needs a whole lot aeration! With Asian take away.
