March 8, 2024 - Deep amber colour. Not oxidized, but certainly evolved, with toffee flavours emerging. Still super acidity, and an enjoyable drink (perfect with crab and chilli pasta), but in truth past its peak now and time to drink up

March 24, 2022 - Tsaknakis portfolio tasting (Oinoscent): Brought to drink at Oinoscent during service
The wine was decanted for 1hr
The wine shows deep golden color
The wine shows high intensity, feels developing, with overripe citrus, preserved lemon, quince jam, stony mineral, overripe stone fruit, citrus peel confi, almond, honey, honeycomb.
The wine shows high intensity in the palate, more honey here, lemony, more oxidative, mineral, highly salivating acidity, thin to medium body, long finish
Interesting and undeniably Saumur -

March 4, 2019 - Drinking very well now, but no rush. It’s a balanced wine despite the very evident acidity which really engages the salivary glands. It has a certain fullness - not too sharp or dry, with plenty of fruit and no oak. A wine with presence despite being relatively light bodied and coming in at only 12.5 percent.
Still as good a day and a half later. -

February 22, 2019 - Drinking well right away, but best with an hour+ of air in the bottle. Pungent, with tons of Chenin character. Juicy nectarine. Silky body, lifted by ample acidity. Delicious, fun, characterful wine.
