This wine just keeps getting better with even more complexity in the nose. Pear and sea shells as before, but now also something floral and lower pitched layered in that I can't pin down. Creamy mouth, long but subtle finish. May disappoint if you're looking for young bright acidity, but this wine is all about the outstanding complexity in the nose and well textured mouth. Great QPR.

A really nice touch of sweetness on this....almost like my dream of a kabinett. Perfect match with mussels and steamed potato dressed a dijon vinagrette.

Has continued to improve since previous tasting a year ago. Similar experience, but wine has become even more open, with a touch more fruit (especially some pear that I had noticed last time). Even in its youth this wine didn't have the piercing acidity that I usually look for in a muscadet. But on the other hand, this is an incredibly well balanced wine with loads of minerality and an excellent finish.

Really nice smell on this - a little sweet orchard fruit flower. Lime and crisp seashell salinity on the palate. Acidity is mouth watering.
