esbrown reviewed Domaine Laffourcade Savennieres 1996 on March 9, 2005 Interesting. So much going on, perhaps too much. Extremely oxygen starved this wine needed 1 hour to open. At first heavy with pungent cheese, rancio and mold aromas, with the cheese aspect carrying over to the palette. After there is a pleasant blend of honey, almonds, burnt caramel and lime acidity. Lovely smooth texture. Still alive, but just barely. |
