With sauteéd salmon dinner. Really nice, still amazing minerals, just enough lemon and that something extra that age can bring (as I keep telling myself). Full disclosure, I've had some bottles that didn't hold up as well, but bottles like this make that more than tolerable.

Older Loires: Light gold color and the honey and preserved lemon additions to the expected saline and mineral elements show right away that it isn't a baby any more. There is still enough fruit to balance the acidity, but it doesn't pop with the vibrancy of a recent bottle of the '97. A good, but not great example of an aged Muscadet, this bottle suggests that it might be time to start drinking these up.

China King, Drinking very nicely with considerable depth making up for no longer having prickly acidity (but has plenty).

Brown bagged bottle as a starter at a dinner for mature high-class Bordeaux. Guesses included Haut Brion Blanc. Long finish.
