Earth and straw notes blend well with the dark berry fruits and lovely subtle acidity balances it out beautifully. Hints of licorice add complexity and depth. — 10 years ago

Blanc Fumé de Pouilly Sauvignon Blanc 2008

9.4

Very pale yellow, almost devoid of color. The nose is bright and alive with ripe honeydew melon, green fig, citrus zest, alfalfa sprouts, and fresh grapefruit juice. Gorgeous flavors come in waves; tangerine, citrus oils, lime, lemon zest, lemongrass, cara cara orange, white grapefruit. The acidity is literally laser focused, like the edge of a perfectly sharpened chef's knife. Minerality comes towards the end; clean, white river stones, granite. Hints of wheat grass and radish mix with wet stones on the long lingering finish. This will get even better over the next 5 years. One of the last wines from the true Jedi Master of Sauvignon Blanc. — 8 years ago

Huge minerality, pretty lemon/lime curd, apricot skin and crushed rocks on the nose. Bracing acidity, lemon, river rocks, persimmon and lime on the palate. Killing it with some shrimp with pancetta and garlic. — 9 years ago
