I tasted it blind. At first, it revealed benzene, shells, lemon and quince. My first thought was some older Chenin Blanc, maybe from Jacky Blot. But then I realised that there was an obvious prolonged oak influence, both in the nose and the taste, so I guessed the wine. So I have to thank this mix of toast, almond and vanilla, as well as high acidity with well-integrated tannin (hehe). Overall, complex, multilayered, evolving and delicious wine.
