| | Chenin Blanc |
 | | The wine is a deep orange-amber color, the deepest color of the evening, and the nose is profound and dark, apricot, iron oxide, tea, orange rind and almonds. |
 | | The nose is still rich and vigorous, but not as whispery-quiet this time--stony honey and minerals in lemon oil, with a trace of smoky nuttiness. |
 | | Not as hard as the 91, not as soft as the 89, this hits a fine middle ground, with the coiled-spring density that is present in all these wines not intrusive or overbearing but decidedly there, giving a sense of weight and strength. |
