Pungent lemon complex: lemon oil, lemon pith, lemon tea, lemon basil... Lifted and aromatic. Green apple next to all that lemon stuff. Ripe but very dry. Very herbal and pithy. Very long and coating. A bit rough and tumble, but that's Savennieres for you. Tasted blind, I thought New World Riesling, maybe Hunter Valley Sémillon. Way off!

Raw nuts and waxed fruit on the nose and palate. As it opened some bitter citrus zest and bitter almond. The flavors were light and there wasn't enough acidity. This didn't gain much richness with age. This was disappointing.

Amazing rum raisin spicy layer on top of a clean laundry chenin blanc. Lovely.
