Joven, aunque ya disfrutable, tampoco parece un vino con un gran recorrido, aunque el fondo mineral en boca le da estructura

Needed air to show its best. A bit subdued initially. Last sip was the best. Next time I will decant it.

Second bottle of the 18' and it's not anywhere close to past vintages. Little fruit, slight bitterness, a little bread-y, moderate acidity. Past vintages were super fruity and bright.

Ripe, tropical notes like canned pineapple juice. White flowers and tangerine nose. Enough acid to make it all work, but not my favorite example from this producer

Electric and laser-focused Chenin that’s elegant but has the stuffing to age nicely over the next decade.
