Scratching a chenin itch. Ripe and somewhat big boned, somewhat developed, flint and bruised green apple, apricot, could have used a bit more cut but still enjoyable. Update—day or two later and the acid is much more pronounced, along with a salty cheese rind aspect. Could be more harmonious but upgrading slightly

Just an incredible experience drinking this. So young, so structured, relentless, precise and a world of complexity.

The oak is more and more integrated and balanced, still a little prominent in the back palate - acidity is kicking back

Over the top good. Starts out flinty and reduced almost like white burg then after an hour the chenin shines through with cheese, apricot and wax. What a great wine!!!!
