Great, great wine - if not for everyone. Paired again with a very fine piece of comté, this show saltiness, minerals, citrus, a bit of smoke. Layered wine. goes on and on. Long life ahead. #PB#Østerbro

Every bit as wonderful as it has always been. It’s bone dry, complex and displaying a wonderful melange of melon, curry, almond, salty caramel and citrus notes. Bright acidity and great clarity but surely not facile a boire. What a treat.

A piece of comté is of paramount importance here to go with the sherry-like, ekstremely deep an intense wine, fry with a wonderful bitterness and saltyness; balanced. A mystery-wine, a drink for the afterthought. #Kandestederne #PB #Comté 24 mois

An incredible wine paired with 24 month Comte and Reblechon. Very spicy with notes of curry, melon, caramel, citrus and salt. Complex with a refreshing minerality. Riveting stuff, but also not for everyone's taste.

Terrific. A wonderfully distinct and complex nose of salty caramel and melon. Fresh apple, pear, melon and almonds on the palate. Surprisingly fresh even with a hint of citrus underneath. Great pairing with cheeses.

At Pied de Terre.First encounter with Savagnin or any other Jura for that case. Very impressive. The bouquet is so much richer than expected with pear and green apple, while the palate has great tension and dryness that juxtapose yet resolve the aromatic combinations. To me it reminded me of a Rheingau Riesling on the nose, but totally different on the palate.

Stunnig tonight, so rich in flavors and complexity, sherry notes with hints of citrus, spices, caramel and so much more. Not a facile wine for sure, a wine that requires food - veal, chicken, fish or cheeses. Will certainly live on for decades to come.

A distinct nose of almonds/marzipan, a surprisingly fresh palate of hazelnut, honey melon, green fruits and sherry. Sensational wine with various cheeses. Wow.

Classic Puffeney Savagnin with oxidized, nutty flavors along with marks of melon, lime and honey. Very distinct wine, not for everyone, but I love it. Great match with Beaufort. Happy to have this in my cellar.

Strong, classic Manzanilla Sherry like nose of nuts and cheese along with notes of salty herbal fish. Sharp palate with that Savagnin tinge kicking in on the back end, almost with a pucker. Lots of acid and clean. Powerful in expression, full of fruit yet lean in feel. Good stuff though a bit more sour than many would like. I like this though I would like to see more Savagnin and Chardonnay blends from the Jura versus the single variety wines. The blends I've had work very well and I think the grapes offer the right differences to make superior wines together.

Powerful nose on nuts, curry with delicious aromas of butter, toffee and sweet spices. Good volume in the mouth with a superb finish thats just fresh enough and flavorful... it just goes on and on!
Puissant nez oxydatif donc sur la noix, la morille et le curry, avec d’appétissants arômes de beurre, de caramel et d’épices douces (muscade)… on arrête pas d’y replonger tellement c’est gourmand. Le vin possède un bon équilibre avec du volume en attaque et en milieu de bouche puis se reserre sur la longue finale qui donne lieu a une explosion de saveurs. Vraiment bon.

This packed some in-your-face acetone and nutty aromas, a watery, fresh palate, and finished with a pretty remarkable salty accent... almost like munching on a salted cashew or peanut. Enjoyable as every other Puffeney I've had. Next time will be with appropriate cheese, hopefully.

Initially a blast of paint remover that does blow off. Clearly oxidative / sherried notes abound ... marzipan, hazelnut, tangy salty with some lemon rind and really strong minerality as well. The sherry character continues to the palate with screaming acidity, marzipan, hazelnut and walnut and nut-like tannin and again great crunchy minerality. Very good concentration and length. A divisive style for sure but I dig it and a very good wine if you do.
