Rich smell with some slight toast. Hard to imagine it is a Sav Blanc from the nose. Taste is pure grapefruit and citrus. Good hit of acid with some linger on the finish. Not bad at all.

Grassy nose, with slight citrus in the background, and a touch of fennel. The palate not as nervy as with previous bottles, seems a bit creamier with the acidity coming on in the finish. Grass and a bit of fig on the palate. Some time has done this wine a world of good. Quite nice.

14.1% alcohol. I wasn't as much of a fan of this wine as usual upon release, and that's confirmed with this bottle. Light straw color. Light bouquet that shows some grass notes but only slight grapefruit character. In the mouth, seems like it is slightly watered down. Some fruit, a bit of stony minerality, and a good mouth feel. B

Past its prime but a decent aperitif in warm weather. Faint grapefruit but kind of a flat finish.

Crisp & grassy. Drank as starter. Will possibly try again down the road.
