Aged Release Semillon 2012
I do like Semillon but I did find this hard to gravitate to. Deliberately held back and released at five years of age.
Smells of gooseberry and sappy, stemmy fruit. It's quite herbaceous and still tightly coiled. A lemony tang sits in the background but that leafy and greenness distracts me that bit too much.
Don't write it off, time may well be its friend.
88/100
