Wispy gunsmoke , touch of herbaceous wheat grass , white stonefruits and kumquats. Very highly toned with freshness and sea breeze and long lasting acidity. Keep.

In the process of materizing now, but there is still enough acidity to carry it. There is a rich oily-ness to the texture now that it didn't have as a younger wine. The nose shows hints of caramel and dried tropical fruit. Palette shows a bit of dried pineapple and tart lemon. A majestic wine from a majestic winemaker. RIP Didier.

From magnum. Very pleased to have found this bottle. Agree with other reviewers. Starts out new world in style but then finishes decidedly french. Floral citrus with great mineral expressions. Recommend drink now.

At first sniff, one could easily confuse this one with a new world Sauvignon Blanc because of the abundant tropical fruits (pineapple, kiwi, even mango), but then the Burgundy like butter and the minerality kick in and give away the unique Dagueneau marriage between Loire and Burgundy styles. Still showing strong, but drink now - 2 years.

The most exotic and expressive of the 2004s, and the crowd favorite, but I preferred the Vatan for it's earth and stone. B+/A-
