Gold. Lemon zest. Intense, broad. What a treat to taste a 20+ year old Chenin.

dried chamomile, toasted hazelnuts, honeysuckle and dried mushroom on the nose leading to lemon, beeswax, apples, Meyer lemon, honey and crushed stones on the mid palate. Low alcohol with higher acidity.

Bone dry old Chenin Blanc with no signs of juiciness remaining and an unusual dried lavender character. Better paired with the beets and huckleberries than on its own. Very different from the bottle of this we had last summer.

Surprisingly youthful with some unusual marzipan to go with a deep intense lime and mineral structure.

1994 vintage bought via @sommselect. Great aged Chenin. No brainer at the price point.
