Silex Pouilly-Fumé Sauvignon Blanc
Viscous, rich white wine with Asian pear, crushed wet rock plus tangerine and grapefruit like sweetness and acidity. It is mind blowing how this Suav Blanc is so rich!

This is perplexing, bought from very reputable West Coast Wine Store chain; no previous negative experiences with tainted bottles. This 2017 is first Silex I’ve purchased since Didier passed away. All previous 2003 & 2004 Silex & Pur Sang experiences were fabulous wines. I’ve contacted the retailer for input if a pattern exists with poor customer response to this wine lot / shipment / Vintage, etc.
In a nutshell: Cork was excellent, no sign of seepage, etc., clarity was perfect, nose of turpentine/mineral spirits, taste was full bodied with extreme face puckering tartness. “Austere in youth” is a thing, but this was tasted blind vs (4) other SB’s from Sancerre, Napa, Sonoma & New Zealand. Needless to say, at this price point buy more Alphonse Mellot! Cheers
