2002 Didier Dagueneau Pouilly-Fumé Silex - France, Loire Valley, Upper Loire, Pouilly-Fumé (7/21/2007)
WIML95,NOWA,WS95

Tasted July 21, 2007. Opened and served immediately in a Spiegelau Authentis Weiss Wein glass. Light yellow color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Elegant nose with notes of soft yellow and tropical fruits with a bit of wet grass towards the finish all of which carries right through to the palate. Medium acidity and body. Beautiful balance. Drinking beautifully now (especially with the Neapolitan Quattro Formaggio pizza; a match made in heaven) should drink well over the next 2-3 years. Folks, this is what Sauvignon Blanc is all about. (95 pts.)

WIML92

Tasted July 23, 2008 at an offline.

This was my last bottle and although good to very good Sauvignon Blanc it was about 2 steps behind my last bottle. Light yellow color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Light nose of pear, pineapple, grapefruit and wet stones. Light and supple on the palate with notes of limes and minerals. Medium acidity and light to medium body. Drink now. Score wise I'd peg this at WIML92 at the moment. (92 pts.)
