  October 18, 2022 - Not quite what I expect from a Muscadet, but still a nice wine. Will go a bit cheaper for a more traditional Muscadet next time.

  August 21, 2022 - Pale gold, filtered
  Aromatics medium. Pear, yellow apple. Creamed yeast. No new oak
  Palate has medium + body. Acid medium. Late phenolics. Alcohol medium. Yellow flowers, yellow apples. Creamy mouthfeel from lees.
  Finish has a medium + length. Balanced
  Dry glass notes of hay
  Overall nice. For a blind tasting this does lack the minerality and acid I would expect for Muscadet.
  I have one more bottle. Will hold for several years and see how this changes.

  August 19, 2022 - Double blind tasting
  Pale gold color
  Medium intensity aromas of green apple/ stone fruit and citrus oils with creamy tones - white/ yellow florals and fresh sage - old oak aging
  Medium bodied palate of apple and dry herbs - round mouthfeel consistent with extended lees contact
  Medium plus acidity with medium plus phenolic bitterness at back of palate - medium alcohol and moderate finish
  I called this Albarino which is exactly what I called this blind two years ago - obviously Im not learning well from my mistakes
  The florality and phenolics really take me to Albarino - I haven't felt comfortable with my call either time as the mouthfeel is just too round and dense - this is just really aromatic for a Muscadet
  Maybe not exactly a benchmark for the region - quite aromatic and not mineral driven probably due to this - but really an enjoyable and well crafted wine
  Drinking well but will improve with aging at least 3-5 yrs - prob much longer

  January 23, 2022 - Easy to drink, balanced acidity, fruit and minerality. Not particularly complex but everyone will enjoy it
