  Showed really well last night.
  Savennieres, on its own, has great aging potential.
  When you choose to put the wine under screw-cap this will only add to this.
  This wine is aging very slowly and very gracefully: nice acidic backbone but also intense aromatics and a rich texture. A great, classic wine...

  Still youthful looking and smelling. Hints of barely ripe stone fruits, pear, lime zest and hot rocks. Rich and mouth-filling without a hint of heaviness! Savory, salty and mouth-watering! Absolutely delicious as usual!!! The texture is oily and as palate-coating as olive oil but with bright citrus flavors and acid that brings everything to a dramatic finish. A panoply of flavors are just starting to unfurl. I should have decanted! This still has plenty of life, drink 2020-2025+ 93

  Straw/ lemon and crystalline - very youthful in appearance
  Medium plus aromatics of lemon/orange and beeswax with beautiful herbaceous quality and intense minerality
  Medium plus palate of candies citrus and herbs
  Medium plus acidity - not really very high for a Chenin - also noted medium phenolics and some ETOH but well integrated
  Very nice length with linear palate and rounded edges
  This wine is well balanced and drinking wonderfully now - could prob hold for yrs yet though

  Single blind tasting
  Straw color.
  Medium + aromatics of mineral, bees wax and bruised fruit. No oak
  Medium + palate with medium + acidity and alcohol. Ripe yellow apples, some smoke and mild phenolic bitterness.
  Medium + finish and a soft creamy mouthfeel.
  Nice wine, but expected a little more acidity and honey notes from a Savennieres. Also, color lighter than expected, given grape and age of wine.
