France, Loire Valley, Pays Nantais, Muscadet de Sèvre-et-Maine
Light golden. Pure nose with ripe yellow fruit and some wet wool. Pure and tight on the palate. Some spices and salt in the finish. Still quite young, good value.
Flaxen. Some chemical notes on the nose. Butter and some sweetness. Medium body, smooth. Quite some oak in the finish. Still in a good shape, but the oak is too prominent.
Rust red. Chemical nose with cherry and dried fruit. Light bodied, quite high acidity. Almost over the top, but there are still some nice fruit left. Drink now.
Clear red, some development. Initialy a bit shy on the nose, but there is a particular aroma of red pepper, cabbage, blackcurrant and tobacco. Tight, quite dry. A salty finish, like black olives. A very particular style. On day two the wine appears more "harmonic" and smooth.

Amber. Candied nose, small hint of petro, raisins and honey. Nice body, great acidity. Long finish and very well balanced. Delicious.
