No detailed notes but at least for me proper Sancerre, not much fruit but more on the mineral side, a bit of bitterness, fresh and long. Hardly any Sauvignon Blanc character, a plus on my side. Already good but no hurry. Fine with white asparagus.

The last one of the bottles purchased en cave in 2005. Quite healthy dark colour, but besides this clearly just hanging on. All fruit gone (but not replaced with anything else), quite hollow with a kind of dusty finish. Texturally, still pleasant and thus kind of enjoyable with a ragout of wild boar. Clearly past it's best. Good plus.

A wine that I bought with high expectations but at the end didn't really convince. Last bottle and probably the best. Very lively color - hardly and bricking, dark, almost opaque garnet. Spicy nose, whiff of alcohol. Tannins fully resolved, dark fruit and spices. Medium long. Went pretty well with the lamb. Excellent. Drink now.
