Still quite pale (so2 levels?) Aromas of pine tar, camomile, fennel pollen. On the palate a bitter herb/citrus pith note comes forward as well as a nutty/oxidative character. Maybe this will bloom w air?

Dont drink the last two bottles, note to self! Another zelig of whites, so much development to go but is drinking prettily now. Still young w much snappy apple-ness, encased in a yeasty & mineral pearl. Had w mussels in saki & parsley, & simply sauteed trout. Yum

Like lemon chiffon. Pretty, bright, and lacey.

Like bearing witness to the seasons changing-gold amber color, striking; mouthfeel both refreshing & somewhat weighty-granny smith apple, flowers, but also an Alsatian, mineral tone. Tasted blind by friend who guessed Pinot Blanc, Reisling, everything but Vouvray.

Tasted blind And did not recognize chenin blanc, although I found that this wine had most refinement in a series of six whites
