  2.5 years after the prior: this one struck us as excessively astringent and earthy, without the pleasant floral notes we recalled. Not friendly. After three nights, we corked it for a week. On reopening it had smoothed out considerably, and was more enjoyable.

  Golden. Fresh and floral at first, and then deep and complex flavors emerged. Blind, we would have guessed this to be an oxidative savagnin, and a lovely one at that. Even after this overriding characteristic took hold, some floral aspects remained in the background. Very enjoyable in small pours over five nights -- and served just slightly chilled, not too much so.
