TN: 2002 Domaine Delaporte Sancerre (France, Loire Valley, Upper Loire, Sancerre)

I have had prior problems with oxidized bottles however this one is amazing to be 17 years old and not just alive, but killer good. Just a simple Sancerre. This is why we cellar wine. I need to start buying more Loire as the prices are still reasonable compared to Burgundy, Piedmont, Bordeaux or just about anywhere in the old world these days.

    Wet rock grungy minerals with great acid zing. Some floral notes as well. Reminds me of a grand cru chablis in weight and funk. Maintains interest the whole night. Very very good.

Interesting. I’m a fan of the more recent vintages and buy when I see it. Usually drink fairly quickly, but intrigued by the idea of cellaring longer.
