Surprising wine - not at all SB like (maybe due to age). Rather mineral, with notes of flint. Slight oxidation. Dried apricot. Long finish. Tasted again one day later. Sweet characters appearing on the nose.

(Movia Sauvignon Blanc) 12.5% alcohol. Golden-straw in color, with an aromatic, fresh nose of wild-Italian mint and elderflower and an acidic backbone. Mineral notes shine through, and a balancing richness leads to a clean finish. Winery Spotlight: Movia

Mint on the nose. This is past its best now and has lost some of its acidity. Slightly watery on the palate. Still a good wine.

Bizaare wine with "curiously" strong mint notes dominating an oxidized tasting core of grain and straw.
