November 3, 2020 - Surprisingly light color. Has gained in weight, shows lemon curd, apples, hay and stones. Very distinct, great structure. A food wine, fish or white meats.

August 19, 2015 - Drinking great. Great fruit married to a serious citrus and minerally base that provides great balance. Certainly a king of Sancerre.
