Pale yellow color. Exotic nose of melon and lemon. Crisp fruit with great cut. Lemon zest, melons, lovely minerality. Beautiful, juicy acidity. Fabulous balance. No grassiness yet still distinctively Sauvignon Blanc. Beautiful minerality. Finish goes on forever with great minerality and lemon/lime notes. Superb with years ahead of it. Drink next 6 to 8 years, possibly longer. Every bottle I have had of this wine has raised Sauvignon Blanc to a new level.

Light yellow/gold color. Lovely nose of lemon zest, pepper and thyme. Beautiful fruit on the palate. Lemon, thyme, basil, minerals, just a hint of grapefruit, melons. Rich mouthfeel. Lovely acidity, great balance. Finishes long and lingering with melon, pepper, minerals. Beautiful example of Sancerre. Should drink well for another 5 years.

Grapefruit, golden delicious apple, pear, oak, and a bit cream. Balanced acidity and subtle minerality. Round and balanced. The oak might not be for some but it’s quite elegant.

A light, attractive nose of grapefruit and straw. Lovely fruit on the palate, grapefruit (but not overpowering), lemon, pepper, thyme. Brilliant acidity that sets the fruit off perfectly. Slightly viscous mouthfeel. Fabulous balance. Finishes long, long with spicy notes, pepper and lemon zest. Beautiful wine. Should drink well over the next 5 years.

Oenocosmos Wine Fair (Intercontinental Hotel): This comes from pure Silex soil Beautiful tensity in the nose, flinty, chalky, ripe citrus, candied, preserved lemon and tropical fruit, dense, oak notes, layers upon layers of notes. The palate is sensational, the same profile flavorwise, more oaky than the nose, flinty, nutty, lime, citrus, med acidity, med body. Outstanding quality, long finish, grippy, preserved fruit.
