2007 Clos de la Coulée de Serrant Savennières,
Talk about nectar of the gods. Think Ava Gardner in "The Barefoot Contessa." A deep golden color, much darker than the 2008, with an unmistakable honeyed quality due to Botrytis (noble rot), candied orange, a touch of ginger and a very rich, almost syrupy texture, yet it's ultimately a dry wine with a stony core and a long, reverberating finish..
