Very different than the 1992. More vivid and fruity some touch of quince representatives of the Chenin from the Loire valley. Lovely with a smoked salmon.

#cheninblanc #savennieres #savennières #loirelovlies #loirewine pronounced nose with honey beeswax dried apricots, resin, hazelnut. You think it's going to be off-dry like an old Riesling, but no...bone dry and med+ acidity

Apple, stone, and wax, oxidative, silky and light with depth and length.

Probably waited a little too long. It’s extremely savory and has lost its balance. Drinkable but not as good as I was hoping for.

100% Chenin Blanc

Medium straw color. Clear and transparent.

Classic aged Loire Chenin Blanc bouquet with waxy note, white flowers, stone fruits. Slightly oxidative but that only adds complexity.

Completely dry, medium acidity. The 21 years it has had in the bottle have given the wine a good body and texture. This would stand up to any poultry or game based dishes. Great wine for the fall.

I won't wait any longer. This is ready for the party. Again another amazing value from this great region. 91.

Like a firework. Short beautiful boom and then I wanted it to keep going.
