aromas of lemon, honey, truffles, apples and minerals. full bodied with a good charge of acidic structure that carries to citrus and almost tropical fruits on the palate with a clean minerally finish. drank better on the first day than the second when it started to fade and the acidity rounded out.

Deep yellow color that was almost exactly the same as the California Chardonnay of the same age right next to it. Unlike that wine, this both started and finished completely oxidized. Some Savennieres earthiness did not help. This was past it and without any redeeming qualities.

This bottle, versus the one tasted last year, is a pallid reflection of Savennières. The typical characteristics are there but muted, even dulled. Consistent over the six days this was open.

One Year Anniversary Celebration (Heirloom Cafe, San Francisco): Deep yellow. Faint oxidative note. Full, some residual sugar. Pretty good if not a dazzling Baumard.

Don't know if this was a storage issue, but this was madeirized and undrinkable, same for a second half bottle.
