  June 18, 2015 - P&p. Interesting to try a ouillé Savagnin with some age on it, just starting to approach the oxidative style; smells good - citrus, honey, nuts, cool fruit along the lines of barely ripe mango and peach, and some nice herbal and spicy accents. On the palate, even more citrus (orange/tangerine/lemon). Some creaminess to the texture. Plenty of tart acidity. Fresh and lively, but with a honeyed, slightly savory streak that hints at the age; cohesive, tasty, quite enjoyable; drink or hold, I would think.

  June 18, 2013 - Somewhere between the other reviewers lies my experience of this wine. On the nose this has a heavier, oxidative, Sherry-like feel. The palate, while full, is much lighter than the nose suggests and the acidity is still fairly present. I get apricots, golden raisins, some nuttiness. I agree that brighter fruit or zippier acid would have made this even better, but this is an interesting wine that developed positively over the 2+ hours it was open. Not sure it's worth the $33 price tag, but it was enjoyable nonetheless.

  October 27, 2012 - Had some nice nuttyness on the nose with fresh lemon, pear and mineral. The palate was sappy and rich. The fruit was ripe and zippy but wasn't AS zippy as I would have liked. Still very nice.
