Definitely a thinking wine. Reduced, but it opens up in the glass to reveal classic Chenin honeyed aromas. I'm not convinced by Baumard's all-screwcap policy - this wine would probably show better at the moment under cork (which may or may not be true in 10 years - but I'm not waiting around to find out.)
