Nose has bruised yellow apple, oxidizing green pear, day old lemon zest and cool salt slab.
Palate has tart/under-ripe yellow apple peel, day old lime wedge, citrus-ey honey with fading salinity. Holding well, acidity is surprising, yet balanced, not sharp.
I've been noting several posts of older Muscadet lately, so I cleaned the dust off a bottle in our collection... It's been almost 4Y since our last experience, mostly consistent with my memory, this is holding just fine. Go figure, I never expected to be drinking these at 18YO, not disappointed.

Mar 19th, 2022A touch of oxidized yellow apple, reduced acidity consistent with prior bottles, nice light mineral mid-palate, hint of salinity on the medium-long finish.

Gorgeous, amazing value. First Dungeness Crab of the season. Match made in heaven. Lush and lean at the same time. Juicy. Mineral.

2013. Beautiful aromatics, juicy apple, crushed stone, pineapple, sea breezes. Big in the mouth, not weighty but grippy. Monumental finish. Would hold its own against a 1er cru Chablis.
