I love this damn Chenin. Not sure I understand the low-ish ratings... not sure I understand ratings at all though. @ Mulvaney's B&L, which my GPS can't find.

Light peach and floral with hint of smoke hays on the nose. Profound minerality weaves through a round and slight waxy palate, with a long spicy and salty finish. I don’t drink Chenin Blanc often, but with a bit bottle age, this bottle is showing very nice.
