2015 Sancerre AOC, Loire, France

Clear and quite fine, delicately floral and slightly mushroomy scent with red berry aromas, spicy hints and some flint. Pure-toned, polished, fine-juicy red fruit with nutty, dried mushroom and undergrowth notes, delicate acidity, very fine, youthful tannin and salty as well as slightly smoky mineral tones, a trace of yeast in the background, still undeveloped, a hint of bacon, very good, quite tight, fine-juicy finish with relatively complex spice. A pleasure
