Vinetasters: Sauvignon Blanc (Skokie, IL): Served double blind. A mild peppery note on the nose. Oddly savoury with a high-toned Sharpie marker thing going on. Quite astringent on the back end, though it's the oily texture that gets more and more prominent with air. A cidery quality makes me think that this is getting long in the tooth. My 6th, group's 1st.

Transparent, pale yellow color with a little rim variation and no sediment. No flaws, low fruit intensity. Flavors of apples, pears, lemon, and lime. Perhaps some papaya and lychee. Sweet with sugar. Medium-minus acids, low tannins, medium-minus alcohol. Medium finish. Slightly complex in character. We liked it.

Took a long time to open but then the grassy, oily feel and taste came around. Beautiful, youthful color.

Cork crumbled so badly I had to push it into the bottle but it didn't seem to effect the wine. Still very good but not what it was several years ago.
