Although this opened as one of the most fragrant whites ever to hit my nose, and had one of the best mouth-feels, and was beautifully balanced between fruit and minerality, but it only lasted through the first 2 glasses. The last half glass for both me and my wife were lack luster. We had let this shelve well past the "drink-by" date, and that was, I think, responsible for the loss of both taste and nose as the evening moved on. I wish I had followed advice and drunk it a year or 2 ago! The first 2 glasses, however, were beautifully paired with a veal cutlet topped with asparagus spears covered in melted mozzarella.

Beautiful. Clean, crisp, great citrus. Wonderful expression of Loire sauvignon blanc. Have to get more of this.

Crisp, clean and pure...minerality balanced with a hint of citrus; perfect with first Stone Crab of the season

($20) This is not showing as well today with a peppery austere green nose. Light-bodied and tangy without much fruit.
