Decent amount CVed 9/7/17 and it’s drinking beautifully. Finish is particularly notable after good impression on nose and lively texture and palate.

Delightful Chenin Blanc touching all the edges. Hard to find . Easy to love.

Smelled terribly oxidized but everything blew off after some decanting. High tension wine reminded me of a high acid Riesling - a big steely mineral wine with a lot of bite.

Strong but understated. Perfect accompaniment to some Hudson Valley frois grois.
