Somewhat riper than expected but still fresh and racy, crystalline acidity with tropical fruit, honeysuckle, bruised apple, petrol and cheese rind notes adding interest. And the color is stunning — a month ago

More complexity bang-for-the-buck than any white I’ve recently had. Fresh balance of floral and chalk with hints of white and melony fruit seeping through the immediate acidity. 3-4 years will pay off huge though at this price hard to resist. — 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 — 4 months ago

A Pét-Nat from Huet?! Aromas of apple cider, pineapple, quince, jasmine underpinned by lightly oxidative note. Creamy mousse, but faded rather quickly in the glass. Sharp acidity. Nice tug of war between sweetness and bitterness on the finish. — a month ago

What an amazing grape is Chenin Blanc. We had a delicious dry version from WA earlier in the week and now this gorgeous 39 year old Vouvray from the Loire Valley in half bottle. Not really sweet enough to be called a dessert style - spatlese at best. Mid to pale gold. Toasty notes with pear and mouldy apple. On the palate incredibly fresh and vibrant for its age. Notes of pineapple and a little acid to keep it going in the cellar if desired but hard to beat right now. A great accompaniment to foie gras. One of the 1001 Wines. A wonderful experience. — 4 months ago
