Found this in the back of a summer fridge. Wine is suprisingly still hanging in there but has lost some of its sugar. Today it is heaviest on mineral and lemon notes - still has that Sancerre funk of flint and wood. Better late than never.

Amazing bottle variation. Have had two of these a couple of weeks apart. First was flabby, and I didn't finish the bottle. I thought about re-purposing the remaining bottles for cooking. The second bottle had great tension and punched well above its weight. My score obviously reflects the second bottle.

Surprisingly big nose on this, reminiscent of NZ Sauv Blanc with grassy earthiness. But the pallet is quite different - thick, a bit oily, not the usual brightness/liveliness that I expect. I suspect this was put on oak, and a bit too long IMHO. Overall I enjoyed it, and it certainly improved once the food come out. But there are other Sancerre labels at this price point that are better.
