Scratching a chenin itch. Ripe and somewhat big boned, somewhat developed, flint and bruised green apple, apricot, could have used a bit more cut but still enjoyable. Update—day or two later and the acid is much more pronounced, along with a salty cheese rind aspect. Could be more harmonious but upgrading slightly

Over the top good. Starts out flinty and reduced almost like white burg then after an hour the chenin shines through with cheese, apricot and wax. What a great wine!!!!

After talking about Chenin all day, I had to scratch that itch... Mouthwatering and satisfying ... As usual

Excellent. More youthful than the Billaud-Simon. The finish took about 30-60 to develop. The nose reminded me of Ganevat. A serious wine! Needs more age

Some matchstick on the nose. Good acidity. Just didn't show as well as the others in flight
