Nicolas Joly Savennieres Les Clos Sacres 2003

Posted: 8/10/2007

Ryansnyder posted a review:

I tasted this wine over a week ago and it's had me baffled. I've had such a hard time figuring out a way to be eloquent about this, but maybe it's not possible. Joly is regarded as the grandfather of biodynamic wines, and this one is mind-bending. It's oxidized to the point that it looks like apple juice. The nose, well, made me feel like I was sticking my nose in the jar of candied aniseed right by the cash register at the Indian buffet, with wet hay and the leftover apple must from the cider mill. The palate was weighty, viscous with a tremendous amount of hay, honeyed apple and freshly cut dill. This is a thinker's wine folks, because after a couple sips you can't even begin to talk about anything else - all the focus is placed on the wine.
