Medium gold. Fully mature, with aromas of dried apricots, passion-fruit, honey, and hints of petrol, sous-bois, and dried herbs. Dry, smoothly textured and intensely flavoured, devoid of bitterness, with excellent freshness on the long finish. An outstanding example of aged Loire Valley sauvignon, providing bagfuls of pleasure.

Medium golden hue. Fabulous nose - pronounced and fully developed, with deep notes of coniferous forest floor, pine needles, honey, nuts, butter, mineral, passion-fruit, candied citrus and preserved stone fruit. The palate rejoices with singing acidity and intense flavours without any heaviness or sense of alcohol. Quality on par with top riesling or chenin blanc, and yes it's damn tasty too! Obviously caught in zenith, it seems set to keep at this level for about another five. Quite an eye-opener for mature Sauvignon Blanc!

Grandioos. Jammer dat het de laatste fles was. Toch maar even zien of er nog wat exemplaren op een schap liggen. Bloemen, gepolijste stenen en een rijkdom aan nuances.

Very good Sancerre-like wine. Crisp with melon, lemon and good acidity. Nice bottle and well priced.

Artisan Wines Biodynamic Tasting (St James's Club, Manchester): Crisp, minerally SB nose. There's a nice richness on the palate. Very good balanc. Impressive.
