  November 19, 2022 - I bought this as a learning experiment. I wanted to know: what happens to vouvray sec after almost 20 years? My answer, based on this one bottle, is: “nothing good.”
  
  opened and slow ox’ed for 30 mins.
  
  The nose was medicinal, I could not get it precisely, but I am sure I’ve smelled that same smell in a hospital or dentist’s office. The taste was mostly of roasted lemon but with an undercurrent if stems and rotting leaves. It was not corked, just outliving its usefullness.
  
  I gave the rest of the bottle to my college kid and his friends, who were watching a movie. They didn’t seem to mind the taste and finished the btl in 30 mins.

  July 23, 2012 - Lemon custard, lemon chiffon pie, lemon zest, lemon meringe, and uh, lemons. And minerals. Drinking beautifully now.

  September 5, 2011 - From .375, slightly past prime. Smooth and balanced, but mostly old oak on palate.

  November 20, 2009 - Rene Geoffroy, Huet, Bosquet du Pape Chante Merle, Girard, Saxum (Our Home): Light golden on color. A nose of honey, oranges, a bit of caramel. Great acidity. Leaner than most recent vintages, but not in a bad way. Great complexity. Went great with the soup.
