Coriole The Optimist 2008

Ever since I tasted the 07 Sangrantino, I have wanted to work at this winery just to see how they do it.  Now I have a casual job at the cellar door so read the following note bearing that in mind.

Coriole The Optimist 2008

Coriole has been making Chenin Blanc for a while now but they only delve into the reserve bottling on occasions.  As this is not released I am thinking that this will be an age worthy version.  Over the three days that I had this open it revealed something extra every time I went back.  It is still very light on its feet with lemon balm, hay, crushed wet pebbles with spicy melon but the structure says put me away and I will reward thee.  Mouthwatering acidity says I need food!
