2018 Tissot Savagnin MAGNUM

It's like a Vin Jaune, but a little fresher (only 4 years in barrel under the veil, instead of nearly 6 years. It has  lashings of lemon, curry leaf, celery and nutty / spicy aromas, smoky and flinty with a delightfully sharp tangy palate. There is a strong chalkiness and great mouth-watering acidity.
This is gorgeous with Chilli Crab, a match made in heaven. Mike Bennie reckons he sees "powerful brown lime, sea spray and green apple scents, and importantly, just a hint of mustard powder (which I reckon sums it up beautifully). Linear in the palate, fine boned and juicy but with filigree of detail, incredible mineral vein, that sense of nuttiness, saline acidity and supreme length. Complexity, intensity, glory. This is so bloody good, and top of tree as an example of the sous voile style. A clear statement of how savagnin is grape royalty." - Mike Bennie, winefront.com.au (on an older vintage of Tissot Savagnin)
