Love this producer so much and this is everything I love about Chenin. Already advanced seemingly beyond its age. Has honeyed things going on but a ton of acidity. Beautiful.

Bright focused fruit and outstanding acidity. Slight wet wool and mineral characteristics. A steal at $30/magnum K&L was selling it for a few years ago.
