Took some time for the nose to open up and even then it was not giving a tremendous amount. In the mouth a combination of honey and minerals, unique.

A beautiful Chenin at almost 20 years old that retains the verve and tension of youth, allied with gobs of honey and gorgeous mellow golden fruits.

Easy drinking beautiful wine. Honeysuckle, peach, balanced acidity and slight minerality.

Crisp, refreshing with hints of cherry. Slightly to sweet.

Moelleux. Raisin and prune on the nose. Ripe apple, apricot and honey notes on the tongue. Certainly sweet but not grating.
