Marianne Chenin Blanc 2004

Lees, limes and tropical tones mingle on the nose with a hint of vanilla. More citrus in the mouth with a touch of peach. Creamy complexity beginning to develop. Has the spicy roundness associated with oak but apparantly totally un-wooded. Fine wine, still in its infancy yet very drinkable now yet has potential to develop well in the bottle.
