"The 2022 SavenniŠres offers clarity and purity with a real chiseled precision. While athletic, concentrated and persistent, the ,levage of 15 months in barrel (up from 12 months previously) has rounded its edges and given greater harmony, wrapping up its firm line. Lemon, lime, salt and spice linger on the linear finish."

"Starts off savory and taut, showing green plum, Asian pear and fresh herb notes that bring a supple feel to the palate, but then quickly builds to reveal mineral energy, with good density and concentration. The chalky mineral elements offer a grippy tug on the finish, which is marked by a blanched almond detail. Built to last in the cellar. Drink now through 2035. 150 cases made, 30 cases imported."
