An evening through the Loire valley (Imperial Treasure SPD, Paragon): Next up was another bracket of (blinded) Dagueneaus. These were generally of darker hue than the 1st flight. This one had a slightly oxidative nose, like chrysanthemum tea, or beer left unchilled. On the palate, similar characteristics though it was buffered with enough acidity that it still seemed fresh. Finished with a slight bitter note. This was my first 03 Pur Sang so it'll be interesting to try another some other time to see if they (03 PSs) are all of similar traits...

A wine with really unique character. Color was straw / hay. Some of the traits of a SB from Loire in terms of grass and light note of lemon and tropical fruit, but with far more depth and complexity. Dageneau was a truly one of the world's greatest winemakers

Medium Straw color with light viscosity. The nose was clean with medium intensity and notes of red apple, honey, quartz minerality and light lemon zest. The alcohol was balanced with no noticeable tannin, however acidity was slight diminished from age. This wine was surprisingly complex with palate components showing both complexity of age and soft character. More red apple on the palate with light citrus, and soft toast character. Delicious, however not much more time left for consumption. Drink up.

Double Blind 1993s From Around the World (Hughes House - Chicago IL): I thought this was slightly corked with a cardboard aromatic note and muted, musty fruit with a slightly bitter finish. Others just thought this old and tired.
