Silex Pouilly-Fumé Sauvignon Blanc

Lovely and lively. Great citrus clarity and a lovely oily poise. Great balance.

Pale lemon in color.

Medium in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing limes, lemons, green apples, light wood, earth, herbs and minerals.

Nice finish with limes and almonds.

This is a very young Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley in France.

I had a few vintages of this wine and it is definitely better with age. Needs 5 years in the bottle to mature properly, but starting to drink nicely now.

This 9 year old Sauvignon Blanc drinks very fresh and young. Elegant and easy drinking.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 45 minutes of airtime.

Good by itself or with food.

13% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$250.

Light golden in color.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity and mouthfeel.

Showing limes, green apples, grapefruits, bitter herbs, spices, light earth, minerals and black pepper.

Spicy finish with bitter almonds.

This is a delicious Sauvignon Blanc From the Loire Valley in France. Rich and elegant. Much more buttery than I expected it to be.

Still young and needs at least 5 years in the bottle to mature properly. I had the 2014 not too long ago, and it was even better.

Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime. Good by itself or with food.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

Sotto tono rispetto al consueto

Tangy, mineral and plush. Hints of roses and melon. Great tension and balance.

Rounded. Mineral. Lemon- sophisticated. Fresh

Bad bottle with many off flavors. Dang.
Has to be bottle variation, as the other vintages I have had of this wine have been outstanding.

I always love these but take note that my fellow winos not so much. Tropical fruit filtered through pure granite. Fresh.

Steely. Pears and citrus.

2011 ottimo. Questo non sbaglia mai
