2016 Domaine Guiberteau Saumur Clos de Guichaux - France, Loire Valley, Anjou-Saumur, Saumur (7/2/2019)
– popped and poured –
– tasted non-blind over a couple hours –

NOSE: light, typical, Chenin aromatics; seems tight.

BODY: light bodied; pale yellow color with a hint of golden richness.

TASTE: very dry; strong mineral; started opening-up significantly after about 30 minutes open; high acidity, but not screechy; surprisingly good pair with a pecorino ice cream. Low-level excellent. Not quite as good as the '14 vintage of same bottling. Hold.

I love '14 for Loire cab franc
