March 6, 2020 - Haven’t had a lot of Sancerre Rouge, let alone one with this much age. The cork held up and this looked good at first, all cherries and strawberries peeking out. Lacks a little mid-palate intensity... the tannins are quite coarse and dissociated a bit from the wine. High acid still. After about an hour the palate fills out a bit with some more detailed fruit. But there’s also a bit of animalé that starts to creep in, more the clove/bandaid kind of brett, gives it a sort of sweet/sour mid-palate. Tangy. Doesn’t look at all that developed for a 11 year old Pinot.

October 3, 2019 - Tart, lower alcohol, lighter body, good food wine. No decant, flavors really emerged after 90 minutes. Not tiring at all.

March 12, 2017 - The wine was a terrific "red" (pinot noir) wine from Sancerre. We opened it and bottle decanted for about 1.5 hours. We paired the wine with grilled salmon (prepared in a cast iron skillet) with "crispy" fresh dill (that was toasted in the skillet after the salmon was done - it was close to blackened). Just wonderful! The wine was loaded wth flavors of blackberry, blueberry and some wet limestone!
