Initially a bit off on the nose this blew off and opened up with air.
Needless to say that botrytized Chenin Blanc from Loire can be magical, this feel just short tonight but was still very enjoyable.

Amazing wine but not session able in the least. Too sweet. I'll wait another decade on next ones.

Candied pineapple, honey, baked apple, candied peach, va, nail polish, elegant but structured. Drinking this alone, not sure I can finish it.

500ml. Just a touch past where we were hoping, but still prime with the cheese.

2005. Lovely apple and honeyed white flowers, plus acidity and weight typical of the variety.
