The 2009 Sauvignon Saurint, from old vines in Buttrio, is a more reserved, steely wine. Crushed rocks, minerals, lime peel, mint and peaches take shape beautifully in the glass as the wine opens up. The inner tension here is a marvel. All of the elements come together beautifully, leading to a powerful, tightly coiled finish. This is the most vibrant of the 2009 whites. The Saurint seems to have absorbed the heat of the vintage with less impact than the Banel, but both are thrilling wines. I drank a second bottle at a local restaurant a few days later and was equally impressed.ious.
