May 1, 2012 - Superb
February 22, 2012 - I see from my notes that I last tasted this 3 years ago, and noted the clean acidity and lime etc. The wine has evolved since then. It is much smoother, mellower and more rounded now. The fruit is still there - hints of pear and lime and very subdued grapefruit mixed with concrete and stone. If tasted blind, I might have thought it was a Savennières . Not sure how long one is supposed to keep these wines, but seems good so far. Overall a really nice wine.
February 23, 2010 - this wine, which was very disappointing initially, is developing quite nicely--almost like a savinierre, with a nutty/oily/beeswaxy quality. still no comparison to the vastly superior 2004, but i'm looking forward to drinking me remaining bottles over the next 2-5 years.
July 5, 2009 - Light yellow. Bright acidity, grapefruit and limes, and a mineral streak with amazing definition and duration.
June 30, 2009 - Clean with hints of lime and stone and grapefruit. Good acidity. Overall, excellent wine.
November 24, 2008 - Delicious! Much more integrated than a year ago. Fantastic minerality, citrus and white flower. Round acids. Just great. Sadly, the last bottle.
June 20, 2008 - Straw hue, nose of pineapple, lemon zest, and wet stone. Medium body characterized by gentle acidity, canteloupe, lemon, and gobs of crushed gravel. The finish is all gravel and mineral, which to me is what Sancerre is all about. A winner.
May 25, 2008 - A very dry lemony wine with a burnt grassland element. Lots of earthy aromas, but Spring not Fall.
January 25, 2008 - A very pleasing bottle. Lemon zing followed by superb structure and fruit body. Long finish, continuing the citrus zest and adding a mineral and grassy note. Wow. A steal at its price. Not the more delicate version of a Sancerre but certainly a lively and character-filled wine.
December 2, 2007 - Grass and citrus, a little sweaty, bone dry, light minerals, average.
