Subtle, and great. Peach, apricot, wet stones, little wet wool, nice acid.

this needed a while to open up, but lordy, when it did, it was full of honey and bitter almonds and orange rind and yellow apple.

Bell pepper, mint, herbal, and currants. Medium plus body seems less so with the freshness of the great acidity.

So different from the Chenin I had the other day. Started off with unripe peaches. As it warmed up yeast and toast appeared.

Always a favorite. This definitely needed air or a decant. Slightly broader than some previous vintages, but once that minerality started to reveal itself, it was party time
