Waanzinnige geur: natte wol, perzik en vanille. Smaak even spectaculair: steenfruit, flink zuurtje en zoetje. Bijna romig, echt vol en lange afdronk.

Nice texture and minerality but overall too intensely fruit forward for my taste. Peaches and cream but quite one dimensional on the palate.

Wow. Nose is perfect, filled with fresh tropical fruit. Great Chenin Blanc flavor , although a little sweet for my taste. Lemon and citrus, finished with pineapple. One of the best Chenin Blancs having a fresh rather tugs oxidative style.

This FMC (Fucking Marvelous Chenin) is indeed a great example of how Chenin should be. Pear,peach and silky + buttery. Nice wine !
