Clos Joanne D'Orion Pouilly-Fumé Sauvignon Blanc

Loire SB transforms into honey-coated stones at 30 years of age.

Oxidative, dried fruit, fresh, lively

Bright, interesting and delicious! Paired wonderfully with seafood paella.

Sight: Crystal pale green yellow, pear-hue.

Nose: Beautiful apricot, wet slate, smoky white floral (?Tuberrose?)

Pallette: dried orange rind, dry apricot marmalade, smoky mineral, white floral kicks off the finish, followed by citrus, followed by dry nutty dry almond skins with dry vanilla-caramel-brown sugar-honey wood-type covered green apples and pears. Melted butter way way into the finish (also a coating texture, ?lees?, reminds me of green pear & butter in Muscadet)

Finish: Very long finish.

Conclusion: Delicious! Happy Holidays!!!

1987 wine for the year I was born! Too much honey notes.
