Pushing the rich end of the Chenin spectrum with aromas of peaches, apricots, vanilla and coconut custard. The palate is mildly oaky with some sweetness. Chewy. Opulent.

But this also has the quality of hot stones and bitter almond on the finish. Promising but needs more time to develop and settle into its richness. Not a lot of freshness to carry it now. These bottlings seem to hit their stride after 3-4 years.
