(Closel Savennieres "Clos du Papillon") Nose of mineral, almond, green tea, mint and hay/straw. Slightly muted. So young but incredibly opulent on the palate. Huge pear, tangerine fruit along with serious white wine tannins. Incredible structure. Huge finish that is almost like a red wine. Hints of pink peppercorn linger. This will easily last thirty years.
