Yellow gold, entering its prime drinking window, attacks with intense, tart lemon and mandarin citrus, supported by a honeyed ripeness. The mouth is clean with mountain stream freshness, a tingling, vibrant palate, some aged toasty champagne millésimé notes, and a long and deep follow through of yellow apple. Just brilliant.

Bright and lively on opening, scents of honeysuckle, tangerine and nice crisp minerality. Finishes clean but thin and somewhat watery. Less attractive as it warmed up. Better a year ago. Drink up. 4+13+15+4

Lemon and light eucalyptus on the nose. On the palate, lemon peel, brine, and a note of tangerine, with a short to medium finish and moderate acidity. It feels a little oily and fat, but avoids being flabby. If this had a bit more acid and a longer finish I would score it in the excellent range, as it's exactly what is expected in a Muscadet. It lacks a little something, but it paired very well with oysters. Average value for the money at about $16.

This is still a rocking wine. Zesty, minerally, oceanic, citrus explosion, some richer honey and tea notes coming out with age. Lots of life ahead.

Excellent quality. Bone dry, but good flavor.
