On the nose the fruits have taken a back seat to honey, dried hay, lightly roasted nut, and flinty minerals. The palate is intense and viscous with complex tastes of bruised apple, apricot, lime, honeysuckle, and honey. Sharp acidity is a bit aggressive at times, but countered by hint of sweetness. Saline long finish.
Very good, but a bit below my expectation. Not sure it will continue to improve after 14 years. — 16 hours ago

Robe dense. Un nez de violette, épices et des fruits rouges. Une bouche sur des épices (poivre - syrah) et des fruits rouges. L'alcool se fait trop sentir et ça brûle la gorge. C'est bon mais ça pourrait être meilleur si l'alcool ne piquant pas autant. — 3 months ago

Brilliant. It’s faded and lost its way. But I love it. You won’t. Unless you understand what it’s like to have too old chenin that is of the highest caliber. Is it easy drinking? It’s not. Do I love it? I do. 2002 — 3 months ago
