A Savvy that is a million miles from the typical, simple, flavour bombs so prevalent these days. And all the better for it. Complexity and texture are the keys here.

A gentle lemon hue. We have ripe tropical notes, which are quite exotic and exuberant. Dried apricots, figs, fresh peaches and spices. The merest whiff of vanillin oak with lemon butter on toast. There is complexity here, with balance, length and intensity. A flick of acidity running along that supple and seductive texture. Good focus. Expect this to age well over the next 6 to 8 years and become even more interesting. This might be Savvy, but not as you know it.
