(à Charl.) Grosse surprise, il etait encore bon!! On sent certes le poids des ans, mais les agrumes sont là, le pamplemousse un peu confit, la rondeur, mais l’acidité encore présente le tient! Il a encore un peu d’énergie ! Ce devait etre grandiose il y a 4/5 ans… Et décidément ce millésime 2006 chez Dagueneau, j’adore!

OTBN #15 (P&D's house): Straw in color with a touch of luminosity. Smells sweet and golden, with a touch of honeysuckle.
The palate is rounder than I expected, though with 12 years under its belt maybe I should have expected differently. Despite smelling sweet, it tastes dry. Rich lemon custard on the palate is balanced by a welcome swell of acid in the midpalate and a touch of bitterness, perhaps from skin contact. The finish is long.
I don't get a lot of traditional Sauvignon Blanc flavors, but as it warms, more of them are detectable. This is my first Dagueneau. I liked it a lot, but I guess I did want a bit more from it. Though it was in great condition, I should possibly have opted for a more recent vintage.

Looking for best Sauvignon blanc: A tad overripe nose of an old champagne. Accidity on the lower side. Overripe and a bit too sweet on the palate as well.

sensational! the palest yellow leading to an extraordinary wine of balance of fruit and acidity and of length and depth - just wonderful!
