  August 22, 2020 - Mature, at first tasted too mature but opened up nicely. Long finish might push my score up a point as I spend more time with it.

  July 9, 2016 - Its an austere wine that has displayed its aged well. It has nice minerality with a bracing acidity that balances out the beautiful bouquet of the wine.

  May 13, 2013 - Weekly tasting group #071; a mixed set of white and red wines. (@ DJ): Dark yellow with soft yellow fruits in the bouquet. On the palate creamy and round fruits and also firm acidity. It is either a bit locked or too old. Not sure. No score.

  April 3, 2013 - Very good Sancerre-like wine. Elegant lime/citrus peel, tropical fruit with excellent acidity. Held up well over several days. Develops some very subtle Alsatian notes with air. This is the way French Sauvignon blanc should be ( avoid the more expensive Renardieres cuvee).

  September 20, 2011 - Pale gold. Aromas of orchard fruits, herbs and lemon rind. Insicive minerality with hints of tropical fruits. Smooth and harmonious wine with good finishing lift.
