Clean, nice minerality, fresh. Great finish and lovely light structure.

Aldehyde on the nose but woah that palate is fabulous. What great fruit and texture. I need more.

The nutty quality of Chenin turned up to 11. Mushrooms, limes, dirt, walnuts, white spring flowers, and underripe white peaches.

Intense aroma of hazelnuts, pear, soy sauce, and the quintessential Chenin woolliness (perhaps a bit much?). Very bright aroma, tropical flavors, good balance of acid-body.

Whoa, acid, tart, sour. Very balanced, great with rich food. The nose on this thing, maybe some sour apple but I can't quite place it. Excellent new take on Chenin for me.
