Two visitors, three birthdays and seventeen wines from all over. (ABA Turkish Restaurant): Classic old school Savennières. Sulfur has kept the wine remarkably young and it has a bit of a lean and mean persona, which accurately reflects the vintage. It's waxy with bright quince flavors and aromas, a touch of bitter almond and mushroom with a strong mineral streak. Bone dry with sharp acids, the wine could use a little more flesh to drape over the structure, but I enjoy the raciness and leanness of the wine. Finishes with a hit of bitter pith. B+/A-.
