My first experience with Savagnin so my score is reflective of the pure enjoyment and pleasure I had drinking this wine over 5 nights as I have nothing to compare it to.
Nose reminded me of a great sour beer, but with much more complexity, over ripe apples, nuts, funk, yeasty notes. Palate felt mid-weight with all the different notes from the nose getting a turn.
Can't wait to explore more of these.

Consistent with prior notes, and again with some aggressive bitterness on opening and for the first four or so days — but we put it aside and by day seven it had mellowed.

Salty and nutty with great acidity, funk and a touch of apple. Yum!

Flawed. Sulfide notes dominated this bottle. Decidedly less fresh. Bruised apple notes. Certainly this was off its stride.

Yellow fruit, slightly oxidative, some flor yeast. Would like even more acidity and concentration, but this is still very enjoyable.
