Mature, with a burnished feel to the maple, ginger, lemon candy, green tea and papaya flavors, which cascade to a long, lush, spicy finish. Chenin Blanc. Drink now. 75 cases imported.??–JM??Region: South Africa / Western Cape / Coastal Region / Stellenbosch / Stellenbosch Select to Add

(for 375 ml.; mostly botrytized chenin blanc with some harslevelu; 167 grams per liter of residual sugar with 9.8 grams of acidity) Deep orange-gold. Aromas of fresh and dried apricot, honey and white chocolate, with a Tokaji-like note of damp earth. Very sweet, even a bit sugary, but not viscous, as the bracing and somewhat hard-edged acidity keeps the wine from cloying. High-toned and truffley in the mouth, with a honeyed richness. This may yet merit an outstanding rating if time in bottle brings greater complexity. .
