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 30, 2022 - Candied lemon and lime on the nose, lots of wonderful minerality on the palate. This wine ages beautifully.
