October 21, 2017 - Yellow. Floral and citrus notes. Nice feel, less angular and ungiving than it has been in the past, but still saliva-inducing grapefruit and high acidity. Good.

June 5, 2017 - Pale, very lean, lemony and citric. Too austere for me.

September 17, 2016 - Loire White Flight (SF Wine Trading Company): Yellow. Compared to the prior Sancerre, much more pleasing aromatic mix of fresh citrus and herbs. Nice round feel with a touch of vanilla. Deeply citric and mineral. Excellent cut and soil.

August 14, 2016 - Yellow. Tarter, leaner, more driving and pungent than the 2014 Morogues with significant acidity and minerality. Overall, this is too severe and ascetic for me despite my love of/tolerance for brisk acidity.

January 30, 2016 - A Loire Afternoon (SF Wine Trading Company, Tofino Wines, and Home): Duller yellow. Very forward aromatics of smokiness and grapefruit. Less weight than the Boulay, but great clarity and focus of tart citrus. This is also excellent Sauvignon with a few years of aging potential that is showing much better than it was several months ago when it had just landed.
