Strong nose of green apple, slate, and, as the wine warms, maybe a bit of petrol? Surprisingly zippy palate given it's seven years off vintage, with lots of carbonic acid and more of that green apple. Lots of body but quite dry, with a *very* dry finish.
Still quite youthful for a white of this age, with lots of acidity and body to stand up to rich dishes--a great winter white! Paired very nicely with a tomato minestrone. No hurry to finish these up.

Day 3 and savory and earthy tree fruit aromas. Palate is a little more fruit, but definitely not for everyone. Full, round, dry. You can see this excelling with the right food on the table

This bottle showed more youthful tension than some others and was a cracking, lipsmacking Savennieres full of yellow apple and stone. Very nice.

Has the electric green thing to it. And bright and fresh. Brisk, a touch wooly.
