Reasonable Chenin Blanc. Served with poached salmon and asparagus. A bit of alcohol at the close; otherwise, reasonable flavor.

Pale golden colour. Intens ripe-fruit bouquet. Pear and apple and tropical notes as well. A little nutty. Medium bodied, soft and lush. Ripe pear. Just barely off-dry. Acidity ok. Some heat on the finish but overall balance fine. This is good and different.

pale, almost green tinged color, nose: apples, honey and apricots, very interesting, complex nose with a touch of alcohol, mid-palate lacking a little here, but a nice balance of sugared apricot with some firm acidity, long finish, the strong, interesting nose and longer finish were the highlights while somewhat lacking on the midpalate kept me from scoring higher.

Retailer tasting (@ AW) : Honey and bananas in the bouquet as well as in the full flavoured taste. Very ok wine without great distinction.

Lovely floral nose. Nice fruity palate, just off-dry, suggestive of pears and honey as chenin blanc should. Got a bitter taste at the end which tired me out by the end of the second glass. Don't think I could stand that in a "sipper". Otherwise great value and would try again.
