Classic wine - Almost an orange with what I can presume is a ton of skin contact - Dried orange peel, apple sauce, ginger and saffron. Bone dry.

A concerning color -- almost bronze -- derived more from botrytis than oxidation... I'm guessing. A little boozy and medicinal; generally lacking freshness. Always a bit of a crap shoot with Joly.

A baby even with a four hour decant but classic Chenin and will be great in five or more years.

Chasing the old seahorse again. Rich and developed,, yet there's a freshness that keeps me coming back for more. Totally cohesive for a wine that I normally love to call weird.
