March 23, 2023 - No authority on aged Sancerre, all I can say is this seems to be maturing beautifully. It takes on a baklava-like savoryness, with hints of toffee and nougat. Love this extra complexity in a varietal that I thought I knew so well.

August 2, 2020 - Lemon oil gives it a creamy almost fat feel in the mouth but then comes the bracing acidity to cut through it, very nice bottle. I think I detected some tropical fruits with a hint of cut grass. Lovely bottle and drink from now to who the hell cares it will probably last a long long time.
