Medium gold color. High pitched nose. Notes of lemon, apricot, stones and some spice. Rich in the mouth, with ample acidity although the structure, fruit and acidity combo feels like this has some good age. There's a slight mustiness too. Really good. Guessed 86 Ramonet Ruchottes.

Honeysuckle, wax, and battery acid that is tamed by a developed mid palate.

This was surprising. Not because it was herbal and honeycomb and mint and honeysuckle, but because of the way it came alive with food. What was a very pretty, beautifully mature Chenin on its own became quietly explosive, almost kaleidoscopic when paired with a shiitake/hamachi/citrus sashimi preparation. And it did it without explicitly calling attention to itself. Wow.
