I need acid in my Chenin, and this didn't quite do it. I think this is a me problem, as everyone else was quite enchanted...

Showing very well after some cellar time. The samples of young wines were a bit unstable on the other hand. This one is a keeper.

Visst, blir lite bättre med luft och tid. Men överlag för mycket bondcider och lite druva och ursprung. Endimensionell smakprofil. Hög alkohol som inte harmoniseras av vinet i övrigt. Den här vinstilen är lite tröttsam. Talanglös vinmakning gömd bakom ”minimal intervention”-floskler.

This is really good. Not a whole lot of acid here (which I usually like in Chenin) a bit sweet at first, opened up more later on though. Apples. Apricot.

Honestly, had higher expectations for this wine considering the price point. Good, but not overly complex. A very lean, mineral style (which I like), but this one left me wanting more.
