Light gold color. PNP, drank 2 glasses over 3 hours. This is a spectacular wine, especially when considering QPR, but regardless of cost, it is a gem. The nose blows up with almond, peach, citrus zest, tropical, very floral. Not to get too technical, but the palate is absolutely slurpilicious. The palate offers a tantalizing array of of tropical fruits, with peach, honey, quince, melon, mango, almond extract, with off dry sweetness that is completely hidden by the juicy fruit and mouthwatering acidity. Wow, so impressive and just a youngster. My and group #2 WOTN. 93+ to 94pts.

Pale gold color. Drank 1 glass over 30 minutes plus. The nose offers pear, nuts, brisk minerality and citrus with ample tiny bubbles. The palate pops quite nicely, with pear, cream, good energy, sour apples, tart citrus, fairly elegant already, young and primary this will improve with some age. Medium plus finish. Give this at least 2 years. 92+(+)pts.

Pale green color. PNP, drank 2 glasses over 2 hours plus. By my memory, this was one of the best SB I can recall from the Loire Valley or anywhere else. The last year has added immensely to the depth and complexity of the wine. The nose is distinctly aromatic and offers pungent florals, apple, citrus, tropical fruit, mild fresh cut grass and very distinct minerality. The palate is so balanced and fresh, crisp with acidity, bright fruits that offer a wonderful mix compared to the typical requisite grapefruit. Here there is citrus, earth, lime,tropicals, an unctuous texture, oily, chalk, and a very long finish. Very delicious. 93+pts.

The palate offers up an abundance of citrus fruits, grapefruit, citrus zest, kiwi, linear, saline minerality, very tart, with the acid becoming a bit sharp as it came to room temp. 91+ to 92 pts.

Light gold color. PNP, drank 2 glasses over 2 hours plus. The nose is somewhat muted, earthy, subdued lemon, mineral. The palate is fuller, great body and texture, lemon oil, saline, minerals, wet stones, line, very long 45sec plus finish. If the nose had more to offer this would score a point better easily. 93+pts. Group WOTN.

Medium gold color. PNP, drank 2 glasses over 90 minutes. Lovely nose that offers up toasted oak, vanilla, lemon, white flowers, and great richness. The palate delivers what the nose promises, full body, toasty, lemon, creamy texture, floral, apple pie, fig. The finish is long and caressing. Very suave and sophisticate. Young and will get even better.93+(+)pts. My WOTN, by a razor thin margin.
