Great older white! I was surprised that it had held up so well, when drunk as a 15 year old wine. Still has strong sauvignon blanc fruit structure and flavours, with mellowed acidity.

Pale gold color. Citrus and predominantly grapefruit on the nose. Herbaceous and steely on the palate, with some citrus and again, grapefruit, some pears. According to the drinking window on CT, this should have been drunk by 2009. The Frenchman who sold us this at a little shop in NYC said it would last a bit longer. It did. Drinking wonderfully now, and we (fortunately) have another bottle.

Fine sancerre, maybe a little thin and clear, tasted at USQ

Sharp peppery and grapefruit flavors dominate the palate, throwing this out of balance.

Lightweight sauvignon blanc with flowers, tropical fruit, and a nice tanginess.
