A spicy wine, hinting at honey with wood and vanilla flavors. As a dry Chenin Blanc, this doesn’t come off well; the fruit is a far distant runner to the other flavors.

Pears, ripe quince and yellow fruits frame this intense, fruity wine. While, yes, it is sec (dry), it is more rich, a mouthful of concentrated white fruits layered with acidity, giving a finely creamy texture just touched with spice.

From biodynamically grown grapes, a wine with intensity of flavor but also freshness, crispness and a mineral and stone texture. The yellow fruits—peach and fresh pineapple—are ripe, full in the mouth, helped by some nutmeg spice and a touch of caramel. Worth aging for another year.

This rich botrytized wine is certainly sweet. But the intense dry botrytis character is much more evident, with an edge of bitter honey, crushed brown sugar and tight, taut acidity. Put all this down to youth, because this potentially delicious wine needs aging for at least another five years.

La Passion is a fine name for this wine, made by Eddy Oosterlinck. It is a result of his passion that this is such an impressive wine: liquorous, botrytised, yes, but with a beautiful line of acidity, fresh honey and fine structure. Could age for 10 years, or drink now.
