I opened this bottle during the Christmas season of 2023, then re-corked what was left (about 1/3 of a bottle in the cellar). Noticing it six months later, I assumed that what was left would be totally defunct, but I took a taste just to be sure before pouring it down the sink. Whooooo. The leftover wine was very, very good. Oxidized yes, but in a positive way. I love it.
Deep bronze color. Apricots, honey and ripe melon. Very rich on the palate with a taste that lingers for several minutes. In fact, I can still remember the taste 30 minutes later. A testament to the beauty of well aged (and oxidized) Chenin Blanc.
