A little past its prime. Light gold. Bouquet of oxidized butterscotch and tree fruits, some smoke. Tastes of creamy white fruits with oak and some honey, fading into a slightly-bitter mineral finish. I would buy a more recent vintage.

During a blind tasting dinner. Light, grassy nose with lemon and lime. The palate has a good presence. Well done but as so often with SauvBlanc relatively foresquare.

Regular dinner group (By EM @ Bottles): In the bouquet peach and ripe yellow apples. On the palate a bit reductive, yellow fruits and marzipan. Some of the tasters thought this was a faulty bottle. I am not sure, but nevertheless no score from me.

Performed surprisingly good. Well balanced with all you expect from the grape varieties in terms of acidity, exotic fruits by the buckets and lots of charm. Need to find some more to see how it will age.
