Community Tasting Note

Saturday, January 12, 2008 - Dinner and wine (Chicago): Popped and poured. Shy on the nose, but there was some good Savennieres minerality with a citrus fruit background. Light on the palate and crisp, which is of course not a problem per se, but it does not have the authority of the '02, for example. Nevertheless, the telltale stony mouthfeel is there distinctly. This is a quiet wine right now and is not going to jump out and impress. I've seen Savennieres pick up a lot of depth with decanting or a day open before, and it would have been interesting to see if this benefited from some air.
