This one aged well. Acidity still prominent with fruit transitioning into baked apple and toasted walnuts. Maybe even that pear that's been sitting on the counter for a little too long. Interesting stuff.

Jurassic park Amber cane sipping on Normandy cider. For $30 the best wine I've had in 2015

Wow. So bright and the acid is just amazing. Can't believe it is 10 years old!

Epire again falls short. This one too oxidized. Still represents Savennieres well though.

Lovely button mushroom and hints of truffle; some nuttiness, too. Still had a decent backbone of acidity though this wine might have been playing a bit coy right now.

From a region and producer I love, a rather disappointing wine... Just no complexity. All lemons and rocks with no depth.
