Honey, apple, salinity, fairly dry. agree with another reviewer- lacked precision. It’s no Rougard Breze but still pleasant.

Chenin, always so good with spring vegetables. Salinity, honey and apple but lacked a bit of precision.

Lemons and rocks. 14%. In a great spot. These wines are better if you don’t wait too long, as the acid can overpower as fruit fades.

First glass was toeing the line with VA then it settled down nicely. bone dry, high acid, extreme minerality with typical complex chenin markers: lime, apples, honey. Really delicious but this needs an hour or two of aeration minimum. These wines take forever in the cellar. 2018 just entering drinkability. Aside: The tasting notes on this wine are full of trendy NYC somms drinking this on release and giving it middling scores 😬
