  13%. Pale yellow gold. It took quite a long time to really open up and show of its best. Almonds, tinned pineapple, tarragon, lemon, fennel, lobster, lime, and some chalkiness - such complexity. A wonderful mineral wine. There is lovely structure and richness. It has completely thrown off its early sauvignon blanc characteristics and now is a fully formed, mature wine. It has great balance, length and persistence. There is no rush to drink this.

  Typical Sancerre, still youthful but the acidity is a bit painful.

  Citrus aromas with minerals and some asparagus notes. Not the wet wool aromas as in a bottle tasted a year ago. Dry and clean, and not as powerful as for example the 2008.

  Peculiar reductive like aromas of wet wool, but also plenty of minerals and some citrus. Dry, as opposed to some other Cotat wines that have appeared rather sweet. Intense. More terroir than varietal here.

  No letting up from my previous note last summer, this was entirely delicious but with a tad more mature notes, in particular a hint of candied pineapple which I get from mature Chablis and which I didn't note in July of last year. The length and persistence on this is really something. This has miles to go - it would be fascinating to taste it again in 10 years. Glorious wine and again a highlight of the year so far.
