Give it some time and space and it speaks its (subtle but effective) mind.

Yeah... are the apples rotten, or just tired? Not a butte to write home about.

The last time I had a Chinon blanc I was in France. An acid driven treat.

Smelt like nail varnish, and bubble gum, tasted like neutral nothingness.

Nose of lemon, lime, honeycomb, and sea breeze. Very dry and high acid on the palate. Lots of citrus, minerals, and a touch of honeycomb on the finish. Mayb ea touch of yellow apple as well. Crisp, clean, and tasty.
