This is a Sauvignon Blanc from Turkey. While obviously this has some age on it, it showed well and improved with air over the course of a few hours. 13.5% ABV. Golden color, slightly on the deeper gold side (probably due to some age). Clear and bright. The nose is reticent at first but with air shows minerals, slight hay, and a slight winter-green note. After an hour or two, it shows some fruit - melon and slight tropical fruit. It has a lovely, slightly oily texture. On the palate, this is a lively wine. Nice minerality if not a lot of fruit. Some depth. Good finish. It would be interesting to taste a younger wine, but at age 8, this is still drinking well though it should be consumed soon. It works better with food and worked well with spanakopita.
