 Tasted by f22nickell on 12/15/2015 & rated 88 points: Nose of honey, lemon and lanolin with a late hit of mineral and nutmeg. The palate shows the same with plenty of sugar but enough acid to keep things in balance. The finish is short with citrus, honey and mineral. Seems to be a bit too mature given the age, may be a touch cooked or oxidized. (1315 views)
 Tasted by Gargantua on 6/29/2013: Pear skin, preserved pear with cinnamon in the can. RS with freshness? You've got me. A muskiness emerges that is quite inebriating. It's fougère!! Musky deer moss. Amazing wine. (1350 views)
 Tasted by AMC Eagle on 5/25/2013 & rated 93 points: Medium gold in colour. Nose is a bit tight; composed of bright pears and some citrus fruits. The palate is made up of honeyed ripe pears, pineapple juice, with a touch of lime. Acidity is holding up with the sweetness of the wine; bright and a good treat to drink. (1289 views)

2016 vintage:
"Quality and concentration is good, with Chenin Blanc being particularly noteworthy in 2016 while Sancerre is thought to be the best of the Sauvignon Blanc appellations. Cabernet Franc is 'delicious, ripe and fruity' according to Loire courtier Chris Hardy." - Jancis Roninson
