  Обожаю совиньон бланы! Такие как этот готов пить хоть каждый день. Типичный Polly Fume: кремень, щелочь, хорошая кислотность, умеренное послевкусие (medium+). Такие вина я люблю: минеральная свежесть в аромате и минеральная свежесть во вкусе! Время пить сейчас, хотя можно и подержать год-другой. Если попадется такое вино, обязательно приобрету.

  Wow...
  13% d'alcool, 100% Sauvignon blanc
  Oeil : paille soutenue, sans être doré, viscosité moyenne en parois
  Nez : projection d'intensité moyenne, très frais, citron confit, crème fraîche, minéral, pamplemousse, agrumes, pointe fumée, gazon frais léger et élégant, à peine séveux, superbe et très invitant
  Bouche : sec, ample, acidité rafraîchissante+, texture satinée, amertume moyenne+, persistance presque longue, rétro de citron confit, herbacée, amère, minérale
  Conclusion : très belle évolution, gagne en profondeur, en complexité et en intensité, tout en se patinant, belle surprise et beaucoup de plaisir! 90+

  Out of a 375ml, pretty perfumy nose of exotic fruits, herbs and pickles.
  The palate had notes of thyme, pineapple and a grassy note, smooth but lacking a tiny bit on the mid palate.
  Perfect everyday white for the warm summer nights. would buy again

  A nice little Pouilly-Fume. Perhaps straddling the new world and the Loire valley, it had a ripe nose, with gooseberry scents, ripe lemons, fleshy white fruit accents and long, slakey mineral lines nestled amonsgt some green grass and perfumy flower top-notes. Some cat's pee was milling around there. Expressive enough, but I could not really decide whether I really liked the bouquet or not. The palate certainly had a nice touch of quality on it though. It attacked with lots of spicy notes, followed with some serious mineral, and then fanned out into a rather substantial mid-palate, with ripe lemons and melons kept sprightly by brightly dancing acidity across the tongue. I liked the way the acidity kept the wine focused and balanced all the way into a slightly mouth-puckering finish that showed more nice long minerally lines - altough there was quite a bit of ripe weight and forwardness, the wine always mantained a sense of stylishness to it. Popper and poured, it was good to drink now.
