  8/9/2015 - LJD Likes this wine: 88 Points

  Good qpr. PnP a glass and put the rest of the bottle in a decanter for two hours. Then put it back in the bottle, corked it and placed in the fridge. Good tropical fruit flavor, I agree it seemed closer to a NZ SB. Finish was a little harsh. - 87
  
  2nd day: Quite a difference from day 1. Flavor remained the same, but the finish had mellowed out and lost some of it's harshness. For such an inexpensive wine I'm surprised it changed this much. Definitely up my score by 2 points. - 89

  Very nice SB, though it does veer a bit into the New Zealand lane. It opens tight as it is quite young, and at that point seems classic, steely Loire in style, with good length on the ample acids. As it remains open longer deeper fruit flavors take charge and the bracing impression is reduced. By the end you have a bit of gooseberry. That said, it is a somewhat new world style for the Loire but with more finesse than New Zealand renditions, and it is a very fine value.
