Oak, cheese rind from heavy lees contact, and marked presence of semillon despite only 1/4 of the blend. Very ripe fruit with fragrant yellow apples and daffodils.

Love it...tart green apple, but rounder than a traditional sauv Blanc by the semillion; scampi on the nose

There was a reason most of this was left over. I’m calling it austere but also getting to it a day after it was opened.

Mostly Sauvignon Blanc (old vine) with about a quarter Semillon. Smoky aromatics & full bodied with a mix of tropical & citrus fruit. Oaky spice & bright acid add excellent complexity. Great stuff.
