 Tasted by EMichels on 8/12/2023 & rated 86 points: Drinkable but heavy oxidation; Apple Cider; Still a strange freshness (220 views)
 Tasted by EMichels on 1/4/2023 & rated 84 points: Sharp and acidic (306 views)
 Tasted by exonian on 10/9/2022 & rated 92 points: Absolutely delicious example of mature Vouvray sec, that has aged beautifully since my last bottle 5 years ago. In the glass, light gold and , and a nose that develops to show bruised cider apples, waxy lanolin, yeasty dough, quince, saline green olives, and high notes of lemon mousse and gingery melon. On the palate, it is really mouthwatering - quite viscous and rich , with flavours of fresh Granny Smith apples, playing off against the gingery acidity. The finish is long, saline and chalky. Classic Vouvray. I have one remaining bottle to open over the next 5 years! (306 views)
 Tasted by skifree on 8/16/2019 & rated 92 points: This is a beautiful Sec Vouvray. Notes are from last glass on third day bottle that bottle has been open. Deep gold color, defined meniscus. Rich nose with ripe apple, citrus, alcohol, mineral. Same rich flavors in the mouth with solid acidity to back them up. Wish I had a bunch of these. (1006 views)
 Tasted by arvidpalmqvist on 6/29/2018: Lemon pie, rhubarb, gooseberries, elevated acidity. A creamy lactic note, think kefir/yoghurt, stuck on my palate (not my favourite aroma but that’s highly subjective, also I guess this depends a lot if you drink this by itself or mix it up with other glasses (which I did) that might enhance this note by comparison).

 Tasted by exonian on 1/8/2017 & rated 92 points: In colour this wine is a light gold. The nose is a rich cocktail of green apple,candied apple and pineapple, quince,apricot, wet hay, savoury herbs, saline green olives, fresh yeast, and a developing muskiness. Dry as a bone, acidity is high, but with a viscous mouthfeel. The palate is full of the flavour of cooked apples. Classic young Vouvray sec,this wine is deliciously refreshing today, but will develop in complexity over the next 5-10 years. (1381 views)
