  Light yellow. Creamy nose, some tropicality but overall this leans to orchard and citrus. Where the pineapple comes in is on the palate, with perhaps some quince jelly or something along those lines. It's really good, although it felt a little tense on the night so maybe needs some more time to unfurl. A great advert for Sancerre, most enjoyable with Steelhead Trout.

  Agree with thegreen1985 tasting notes. Definitely an outstanding Sancerre. Great nose, good concentration and finish. Could serve this to anyone with confidence.

  Much better than the 2017 I tried before, which alludes to my previous opinion that my preference for Loire whites lies on the younger side. More tension than the 2017, with a slight sweetness on entry. Good roundness and texture without any greenness for a SB but not overly ripe or tropical either. Very good, just not not as stunning as the best Sancerres.
