Chenin that takes you on a minty, herbal trip down a windy mountain road. Flowery perfume with a lemon and lime twist and a presence of genever and mysterious botanicals sitting with quiet confidence in the background. Deftly balances so many high octane elements that they all land with a perplexing, almost still harmony, finally enveloped by just a whisper of nostalgia-inducing sweetness on the finish. Epitome of the cool, clear-eyed fruit of Savennieres. Hard to believe that this will probably get even better. 9.6+
