S.S. Mandani

9.1

Delicate dandelion wine white flowers and such flowing from the nose.

Tropical notes. Delicate and balanced. Zippy acidity but balanced nicely with flinty minerality.

Slightly underwhelming maybe based off the promise of what it could be — 20 days ago

Demi-sec. Pineapple, honey, lemon rind. Not what I usually look for in Chenin, but this is undeniably a good wine. Elegant, full, and with a finish that just won’t quit. — 3 months ago

Incredible. Drank next to Bernadeau and this destroyed it. Old Chidaine is a treasure. — a month ago

Drinking crazy good now. Rich, layered, early season crisp pear, white peach, floral. This is better than the last bottle a year ago, and is pushing 9.4 — 4 months ago

Subtle, and great. Peach, apricot, wet stones, little wet wool, nice acid. — a month ago

9.7

Stunning zero dosage sparkling wine from the Loire Valley — this rivals most champagnes.
Pear, bruised apple, lemon, grapefruit, almond, oyster shells. A bit of yeastiness.
Perfectly balanced. — 5 months ago
