Vintage 1996 | Mahony orange colour. Mesmerizing smell with apricot, honey, Turkish delight. Cassonade sugar from sugar beet. Incredible well balanced. My Chenin Blanc night cap.

Lovely. Concentrated and honeyed. Lemon curd. Nectarine and orange zest. Long. In a great drinking window right now.

Vintage 2005 - One of great wines made from chenin blanc, this has a smell with honey, butter, hay and an irresistable nice balance. Amazing!

Light amber, this smells of honey roasted nuts and creme caramel, in the mouth beautiful flan and creme anglais flavors mix with a nice stony minerality.

A little chilly, but crazy good, candied and crystalline.

Getting a little on the oxidative side. 375ml. Definite bottle variance from the bottle I had 3-4 months ago. Dark in the glass. A treat none the less.

Sweet and tasty with decent acidity but a little simple.
