  Not quite what I expect from a Muscadet, but still a nice wine. Will go a bit cheaper for a more traditional Muscadet next time.

  Pale gold, filtered
  Aromatics medium. Pear, yellow apple. Creamed yeast. No new oak
  Palate has medium + body. Acid medium. Late phenolics. Alcohol medium. Yellow flowers, yellow apples. Creamy mouthfeel from lees.
  Finish has a medium + length. Balanced
  Dry glass notes of hay
  Overall nice. For a blind tasting this does lack the minerality and acid I would expect for Muscadet.
  I have one more bottle. Will hold for several years and see how this changes.

  Double blind tasting
  Pale gold color
  Medium intensity aromas of green apple/ stone fruit and citrus oils with creamy tones - white/ yellow florals and fresh sage - old oak aging
  Medium bodied palate of apple and dry herbs - round mouthfeel consistent with extended lees contact
  Medium plus acidity with medium plus phenolic bitterness at back of palate - medium alcohol and moderate finish
  I called this Albarino which is exactly what I called this blind two years ago - obviously Im not learning well from my mistakes
  The florality and phenolics really take me to Albarino - I haven't felt comfortable with my call either time as the mouthfeel is just too round and dense - this is just really aromatic for a Muscadet
  Maybe not exactly a benchmark for the region - quite aromatic and not mineral driven probably due to this - but really an enjoyable and well crafted wine
  Drinking well but will improve with aging at least 3-5 yrs - prob much longer

  Candied lemon and lime on the nose, lots of wonderful minerality on the palate. This wine ages beautifully.

  Easy to drink, balanced acidity, fruit and minerality. Not particularly complex but everyone will enjoy it
