This is my first post.
It’s more of a test than anything else.
I’ll be posting mostly about wine, but also about food as I do love to cook.
My Moto is; keep it short and simple. So no dissertations from me.
The first wine I want to review here is.

All the wines we have are tasted blind by the group.
On the nose this was unmistakably Chenin Blanc, wet wool, stone fruit (peaches) and a bit of citrus too.

And it will age well for over 10 years.

Hello Bernard, I'm a client and correspondent of Leon and was happy to see your 'test'. I drank a bottle of this a couple of months ago and, as a Vouvray fan, loved its combination of dry minerality with green fruit and a hint of sweetness. Lovely with food it was also very pleasant to drink on its own.
