1997 Domaine des Baumard Savennières

Community Tasting Note

wrote:

Saturday, August 29, 2009 - Lots of reports of these being over the hill, but this wasn't showing really any oxidation. Still, not the most exciting Chenin in the world. Moderate acidity, a solid waxy note, green apples, and yes a touch of asparagus (people often cite asparagus in the Baumard sweet wines, I've never gotten there, but occasional hints in the Savennieres). Pleasant wine, but not sure it really deserved a slot in the cellar for 10 years. Nowhere near as good as a 96 d'Epire Speciale last weekend B/B-
