This got quite a bit better once it warmed up. Really expressive. Drinking quite nice.

Pretty complex for an IGT Chenin.
Honey and white fruits. The acidity keeps it light with the high alcohol. Very nicely balanced.

16/20 (88/100) В аромате заметен редуктивный тон, аэрация не помешает; акация, варенье из лимонов, яблоко, зеленые овощи. Довольно высокая кислотность при этом заметно спиртуозно во вкусе (и оно понятно, здесь 14.5%). Хорошо сделанное вино, но дисбаланс мешает.

Crisp and refreshing. Sour and tart. But it grows on you. Green apples. Tastes kind of like a pear cider with lots of aroma.

Jaune claire
Nez fruit jaune et fume
Attaque fruit jaune et mûre avec belle énergie en milieu de bouche
Finale avec un joli fruit et un peu de résiduel
Va se fondre et se complexifier
Bon et pure
