Quite a fantastic nose. Open, vibrant, oozing rich grassy citrus. Mouth is verydense and flavour packed. The age shows on the back end where the younger freshness of acidity gives way to a flabby greeness. This was very nice - just a bit past time. Very good wine when taken young.

Another Loire wine, this was a real treat. On the nose, this showed faint notes of tropical fruit and peach commingled with the more familiar brisk citrus aromas, with each beautifully delineated and thus identifiable. In the mouth, the wine is sappy, palate-coating, with excellent acidity and soil tones that seems to maximize the powerful fruit flavors. Excellent stuff.

Lovely nose of grass, flowers. Decent weight with a bit of a stale finish. Good acidity still. Likely a bit old for a sauvignon blanc but nice.

Lovely sauvignon nose and acidity on the palate, but a mouthfeel that is a little more lush and smooth than the trypical Sancerre. White fruits.
