Still very drinkable. We opened the bottle with some trepidation that was unfounded. The wine had aged nicely. White grapefruit taste and nose. Light yellow color. Dry and crisp.

This was a decent bottle when it was released but not as good as the 2010. I would have rated it probably mid-to-upper 80s. But it is now past prime and starting to be oxidized. Drink up ASAP as it is over the hill

Lemon yellow colored with with aromas of citrus. Tastes of lemon and citrus. Little complexity, light bodied, short finish. Would not purchase again. Much better SB’s for the price.

Straw yellow colour. Ripe apricots, ripe yellow fruits and citrus with hints of wood and herbs. Taste of ripe apricots, citrus and ripe yellow fruits with hints of wood and minerals and spices in the dry finish. Balanced acidity. Differs from the usual Sancerre profile due to the storage on oak barrels for some time. Goes well with fish, vegetables or poultry.
