Description
David Schildknecht: The 2004 Blanc Fume de Pouilly Silex leads offwith an amazing aromatic amalgam of pineapple, lime, grapefruit,passion fruit, peppermint, white currant, chalk dust, and a diversearray of herbs and flowers. Carpeting the palate with more of thesame, it also adds hints of resin and rich suggestions ofcaramelized parsnip. Plush, polished, and remarkably poised, thiswine's luscious richness of fruit somewhat sublimates obviousminerality, but then, arguably certain sorts of effusive fruit andperfume constitute precisely the terroir character of flint soilsin the Loire. Certainly this remains transparent, and not withoutdelicacy of citrus and flowers as well as a certain lightness oftouch, even as it finishes with ravishing refinement and memorablelength.
