“Slow Decanting” this classic
DAY 1
👃Sweet apricot, tangerine, white flowers, varnish, & manuka honey. Beautiful and very expressive
👅Hits the tongue with honeyed sweetness and bright rich fruit leading the way. Acidity increases next followed by beautiful quince/apricot/ tangerines. Finishes long with no unsavory bits. Everything in balance
The remaining wine was Slow Decanted
DAY 12
👃Just wow 😯 Fruit, florals, varnish, and honey 👅Sweet rich apricot, smoky orange, honey, mango, varnish, grapefruit, quince, fig, sultanas.... Starts and ends with fruit. Savory in the mid palate. Lovely mouthfeel. Rich but not heavy
This QdC was stellar and virtually identical on Days 1 and 12. This would likely stay great for much longer with Slow Decanting but I just couldn't hold off
This 2002 is in great form and I am sure another decade is going to be no problem with this level of acidity and balance 🥂

Beautiful golden almost amber color. Beautiful nose of floral and ripe fruit and mineral notes with unctuous yet lively texture with sense of lightness and long finish. Yum. Went great with chicken in reused Galbi spicy source.

Glossy golden magic. Nose of caramel, spices and dried apricot. Tasted of baked honey pineapple custard laced with botrytis. Acid was so balanced this was not cloying at all. Aged Chenin showing why its so highly acclaimed. Just great.
