Scholium Project "The Prince in His Caves" (Sauv. Blanc) 2006

Yellow.

Sweet pea, maple syrup nose. Deep, sweet (seeming).

Thick palate impression - sweet pea flavor then a strange saline character that is, despite its individuality, off-putting.
This tastes very much like wines of mine in the late 90s that had depth but no clarity of flavor. Much "older" than the vintage would suggest, with little complexity to recommend it.

S.Blanc fermented on the skins, to some extent. I'm not sure what I paid for this, but it was too much.
