Mike Saviage

Off the Frasca list in Boulder. Light gold, heavy in the glass. Petrol nose, in a good way. Also notes of pit fruit, lemon creme, river stone and some spice. In the mouth, rich fruit and good but not overpowering acidity. Had the Somm put this in a decanter an hour before we touched it. The last sip hours later was the best. Improved and grew more complex. Reminded me of a young Coche. Really good showing for a young burg.
