Community Tasting Note

  October 1, 2013 - Slightly muted on the nose but then it oozes class in every other department. It may have lost the citric intensity of its younger days but this has been replaced by a minerality that gives it a graceful elegance. Whilst the classic sauvignon blanc flavours are there they give way on the long finish to layers of hazelnuts and, well, minerals that one might normally associate with a quality white burgundy or top riesling. It may lack the burst of florality that make the 2005 so phenomenal but it is still a wonderful Silex. It is showing no signs of deterioration, quite the opposite, so my remaining bottles will remain where they are for a couple of years at least.
