Loire valley (and a little Champagne); 9/14/2023-9/22/2023: From 1/3rd empty 75cl bottle, opened „over one week“ before, and left standing in a non-functioning vacuum wine dispenser at the Caves de la Loire co-op store in Brissac, so it had to be uncoupled from the machine’s tubes and poured by hand (before being replaced to await future customers). In slightly better condition than the 1989 tasted directly before, this had recognisable sweetness, Chenin Blanc acidic character and a velvety texture poking through the extreme oxidisation and plain staleness. NR
