Name:The Royal Old Vines Chenin Blanc
Variety: Chenin Blanc
Country: South Africa
Year: 2012
Price: $7.95
Shop: Vintage Cellar. "One of the greatest buys I have tasted this year is this under $10,100% Chenin Blanc from the Western Cape. A super flowery-scented nose includes notions of ripe honeydew melons and pears. This medium-wesight, fresh, fruity, rips, dry textbook Chenin blanc will provide immense pleasure over the next 12 months."
Critique: This white wine had a strong, sour, pear-like taste. It was pretty good in my opinion but not the best of the 5 wines we tasted during this wine tasting. The wine had a fruity bouquet and strong sugary taste. I would give it a 60 out of 100 contrary to its 90 point rating by Robert Parker
