A hint of creaminess on the nose. It's dry white wine and the flavour lasts pretty well.

The Sancerre 2011 is light and unrecognisable as Sancerre/PF/Menetou Salon. The 2010 Pouilly Fume is dry, lightly acidic with a strong blackcurrant bud taste but has no minerality on the finish and so, is just a glorified Touraine. Poor value at the currant £11 and I wouldn't buy it even with 25% off that as Touraine even at it's best is not my thing.

I think you've been too kind to the Sancerre but the PF could be worth a star if you love Touraine and can't find a good one. At £11 though it would be an expensive replacement.

I still love you anyway.....
