Less oxidation than I remember from 90s and early 2000s. Typical biodynamic color (straw yellow) and nose.

Yes it is biodynamic which I tend to dislike, moreover this wine travels very badly and most of the bottles I drunk in the USA were bad. Surprise this one is really good. Color straw golden (my wife immediately caught on and looked surprised until I told her “bio”. Slightly oxidative, smokey, good mineral content. Warm vintage but pulls it off. Best coulee I ever tasted in NY.

Gold color. Honeyed apricot, spice, honeysuckle, biting acidity and mineral finish. Good this time, not great.

Funky barnyard and earth on the nose with notes of botrytis (Noble Rot) of Chenin Blanc. Incredibly smooth with notes of pear, honeysuckle,pineapple, ginger (gingerbread cookies), lemon peel, and chamomile tea.... amazing how this wine continues to change as it opens up.... very different and interesting. 😀🇨🇵🍷Santè
