Golden color. Sour apple nose. Tastes of pear, melon, and apple. Very well balanced. Rich finish with deep complexity. Probably the finest Sancerre I have ever tasted. My personal WOTN. 13% alcohol.

Golden yellow color. Apple and pear fruit with some vanilla oak on the nose. Tastes of apple, melon, and lemon. Good balance with a nice mid palate minerality. Long elegant finish. 13.5% alcohol.

Dark golden color. Slightly oxidized nose of tropical fruit. Tastes of apple and melon with a deep vanilla oak backbone that seems to be rather well integrated. Rich finish with some nice depth and complexity of fruit. 13.5% alcohol.
Deep ruby color. Black berry nose. Tastes of blackberry, cherry, earth, and anise. Totally unbalanced and disjointed. Only alcohol and oak on the finish. Awful. 14.5% alcohol.
