The fruit is somewhat faded at this point (an echo of gooseberry and grapefruit pith), but there are some interesting mineral/petrol and herbal notes that have developed and evolved in bottle. Structurally the wine is still in good shape with elevated acidity and medium body. Interesting to try an older Sancerre that has lost some of its youthful pungency but retained its mineral focus; in some ways similar in style to an aged Muscadet.

Very corked — foul sour musty cardboard and especially putrid cigarette butts.

Ljus färg med ngt grönt i sig.
Tydlig doft av krusbär, fläder och gröna blad.
