  A more masculine effort, with strong notes of pineapple , crisp apple, and hay.

  - Yellow color and aromas of pineapple, grapefruit and apple - More tropical fruits than I expected from a sancerre and a hint of bitterness but had a really good bite of acidity which carried it well. Not a bad bottle but felt like it was little all over the place and not really something for seafood (too much tropical fruit) or the body to go with pasta (had this with a shrimp scampi).

  I haven't smelled gooseberries, and that seems to be the consensus dominant aroma that this wine gives off; with that caveat, I offer my impressions:
  
  The color is straw yellow to gold, noticably darker than other white Loire wines. The bouquet is massive, and exceedingly tropical. It put my mind to slightly under ripe papaya, lemon grass, and star fruit, with pineapple, persimmon and kumquat notes. (If gooseberry smells this fragant I've got to find some.) These scents come through on the palate. There is a lot of concentration to this wine, and it offers intrigue and appeal at every phase. There is good structure behind the taste profile and very nice terroir. By Loire standards, I wouldn't call this austere. This wine is a lovely sipper and also performs wonderfully with food. Overall, it is bold, aromatic and beautiful, with plenty of attitude!

  Decent enough white. I am always sideways with these. Breathe more? Drink warmer? Colder? With Lorena and Philipe with bruschetta chicken, grits, and squash.
