  4/14/2024 - TWSA Does not like this wine: 86 Points

  Nose: herbal, vegetal, mushroom, honey, green pepper, peach,
  Notes: this is an interesting experience trying the so called cult Sauvignon Blanc from the lengendary maker. 2004 is still made by Didier before his passing. Nevetheless the wine is bit tired and seems to be over its peak already. This was not enjoyable and I still remain skeptical on the potential of this grape variety.
  Drink: too old.

  桃、杏和橘皮，成熟的果味在芝麻、香草、燧石和少许烟熏气息的萦绕中担任着主角。酸度柔和但不容小觑，在平静中勾勒出整款酒的走势，如同一条悄然流淌的溪流。随着醒酒，更多植物性的气息出现，勾勒出恬静舒适的田园感。

  Have encountered this wine several times over the last 15 years or so. I always thought that the wine could hardly improve, but it did every single time. I don't need to describe the wine, because I fully agree with the tasting note of 'Wildemeeuw' below. One small difference: I am extremely privileged still having 8 bottles left...

  Kleur: Medium goudgeel Aroma / bouquet: Wat is de overtreffende trap van Sauvignon Blanc? SILEX! En al helemaal die van Didier Dagueneau. Nog steeds een hint van citrus, maar vooral rokerige / vuursteen-achtige indrukken en subtiel tertiaire maar nog steeds prachtig aangename tonen, waaronder een verre hint van madeira. Smaak / Afdronk: Wow, slechts 12% alcohol en een aangename, bijna knisperende friszure start… Gebruikelijk in 2004, maar inmiddels overal in de wereld steeds lastiger te vinden. Fris, voldoende aciditeit maar met een dik-sappig en subtiel filmend mondgevoel. Ook retronasaal verfijnd rokerig met accenten van vuursteen. Lange afdronk. . Algemeen / potentieel: Bijzonder, Silex 2004… Nog gemaakt door madman èn genius Didier Daguenau. En nog met één flesje in de kelder….. 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 12 + Smaak / Afdronk: 17 + Algemeen / potentieel: 8 = 92/100
  
  Colour: Medium golden yellow Aroma / bouquet: What is the superlative of Sauvignon Blanc? SILEX! And especially that of Didier Dagueneau. Still a hint of citrus, but mostly smoky/flinty impressions and subtly tertiary but still beautifully pleasant notes, including a distant hint of madeira. Taste / Aftertaste: Wow, only 12% alcohol and a pleasant, almost crisp, sour start… Common in 2004, but now increasingly difficult to find anywhere in the world. Fresh, sufficient acidity but with a thick, juicy and subtly filmy mouthfeel. Also retronasally refined smoky with accents of flint. Long aftertaste. . General / potential: Special, Silex 2004… Still made by madman and genius Didier Daguenau. And still with one bottle in the cellar….. 50 + Colour: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 12 + Taste / Aftertaste: 17 + General / potential: 8 = 92/100
