Evolved but still super-fresh with dried stone fruits and ripe citrus and white floral scents. Lively palate, with great balance, drive and minerality. Another five years should do wonders with this one. 92+

Stone, eraser nose. Stone fruit, great weight but carries it well like a DE. Pear pear pear. Nice resounding acidity/citric notes in finish. It's still SO youthful.

A bright and fresh Savenniéres that happens to be 11 years old. I'm sure the screw cap that topped it off plays into the aging (or lack thereof) process significantly. A mouthful of minerals and lemon peel, with a great acidic spine and a medium-long finish. Nice wine. - edit an hour later: grown in complexity, a very interesting wine
