Tropical and Apricot notes. Some creaminess. A little barrel ferment character. I think NZ does better Chenins than we do in Oz. Would be good to taste comparison with NZ WA South Africa and Loire Valley. This wine is delicious and a definite crowd pleaser. Tasted again 21 weeks later with totally consistent notes. Delicious.
